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

Chromalveolate algae such as diatoms, haptophytes, and dinoflagellates are main contributors to oceanic primary production, sustaining marine ecosystems and global carbon cycles while synthesizing a striking array of acetylated carotenoids like fucoxanthin and peridinin. These pigments optimize photosynthetic light harvesting in the algae and offer nutritional benefits for humans, yet knowledge of their biosynthetic pathways is still incomplete, particularly the shared acetylation step. By screening 39 candidate genes in the diatom
