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

Astaxanthin is an attractive carotenoid that contains beneficial properties as a powerful antioxidant capable of preventing and treating degenerative diseases, while Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is one of its main sources. Astaxanthin from X. dendrorhous is generated in response to oxidative or metabolic stress but, to increase the astaxanthin yields, it is necessary to stimulate the metabolic pathway in a way that allows the transcriptional reprogramming of involved genes. Research about the stimulation of carotenoids metabolic pathway posed an important question, could the expression of genes involved in the oxidative stress response be reprogrammed to enhance astaxanthin biosynthesis? Several investigations have demonstrated that astaxanthin biosynthesis is assisted and regulated by electron donor proteins similar to cytochrome P450 reductase (encoded by crtR). Here, we assessed some of these reprogrammed transcriptional responses in wild-type X. dendrorhous under two stimulating conditions: (i) abscisic acid (ABA), and (ii) 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) combined with H
