Design and Analysis of Macroalgae-Based Biorefineries.
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
Displacing fossil fuels and their derivatives with renewables and increasing sustainable food and materials production are among the major challenges facing the world in the coming decades. A possible, sustainable direction for addressing these challenges is biorefinery. Plants and microalgae are possible feedstocks; however, concerns over net energy balance, potable water use, environmental hazards, and uncertainty in the processing technologies question their actual potential to meet the anticipated food, feed, materials, and energy challenges in a sustainable way. Alternative sustainable sources for biorefineries are offshore-produced macroalgae. However, implementation of the offshore biorefineries requires detailed analysis of their technological, economic, and environmental performance. In this chapter, the basic principles of marine biorefineries design are shown. The methods to integrate thermodynamic efficiency, investment and environmental aspects are discussed. The performance improvements by development of new cultivation and dewatering methods that fit macroalgae physiology and development of new conversion methods that address macroalgae's unique chemical composition are shown.
