Growing Algae in Biofilms: Principles and Emerging Opportunities.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Biofilm-based microalgal cultivation systems represent a different cultivation technology from suspended algal culturing. Unlike traditional suspended cultures, biofilm systems can offer higher biomass concentrations, simplified harvesting, and great potential for reduced energy consumption. Despite these advantages, challenges such as biofilm detachment, fouling, and scalability exist. These challenges must be addressed before large-scale biofilm cultivation can take place. Integrating biofilm-based systems into circular economy models presents an opportunity for resource recovery and climate change mitigation. This chapter explores the fundamentals of biofilm formation, including mechanisms of adhesion, biofilm structure, and important factors influencing growth dynamics. It provides a broad analysis of reactor designs, substrate materials, and operational parameters optimized for diverse applications.
