1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable and functional food ingredients has driven interest in marine microalgae as a source of bioactive compounds. This study evaluates the bioactivity, safety, and metabolite profile of extracts from Dunaliella salina and Pavlova gyrans, produced through two extraction methods: osmotic shock and bead milling with ethanol. Aqueous extracts were rich in peptides and amino acids, while ethanolic extracts contained higher pigment concentrations, underlining distinct nutritional biochemistry profiles. Both extracts exhibited significant antioxidant activity (4 mg mL
