Genetic structure of sugar kelp in the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf (Québec, Canada).
Article in Journal of phycology, 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
The sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima, is cultivated at low scale in Quebec, Canada, and current practice involves seeding meiospores or gametophyte stocks onto spools carrying twine and transferring these to a seaweed farm site. As the stocks can originate from locations spanning several hundreds of kilometers from the farm sites, such practices could involve genetic contamination and disrupt local adaptations. Assessing genetic structure can inform us of the potential risks associated with these practices. Here, we characterized the genetic diversity and structure of S. latissima from locations in the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf at both microsatellite loci (308 sporophytes at 22 loci in 16 sites) and genomic markers (228 sporophytes at 6578 single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, in 13 sites). Several populations had low heterozygosity values and significant F
