Microalgal starch: regulation of its quantity and roles.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Algae are important organisms that fix atmospheric carbon dioxide and produce organic compounds via photosynthesis. Among these, starch serves as the principal storage polysaccharide in algae and plays a crucial role in the production of various industrially relevant bioproducts, such as biofuels, animal feed, and bioplastics. This review article summarizes the functions of starch in microalgae and the impact of environmental factors, such as light and nutrient supply, on starch accumulation. Furthermore, it explores how microalgae regulate starch accumulation under specific conditions and introduces recent studies on the signaling pathways and related protein functions involved. Based on these insights, this review article discusses the future research challenges that need to be addressed. Such fundamental research findings form the foundation for applied research aimed at sustainable resource utilization, and are expected to provide crucial insights that will drive innovation in next-generation biotechnology.
