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

Microalgae are promising sources of food additives, biochemicals, and biofuels, but their large-scale cultivation depends on cost-effective increases in their productivity. In this study, a blue LED-illuminated wave photobioreactor was developed to evaluate the feasibility of cost-effective, wave-driven mixing for enhancing algal productivity. This system combines two light illumination modes (blue and white light) and two controllable hydrodynamic modes (shaking and no shaking). We cultivated Chlorella sp. in two culture media (BG-11 and commercial aquaculture media) using this photobioreactor under different light and hydrodynamic conditions. During a 21-day cultivation, blue LED illumination combined with wave shaking produced the highest algal biomass (114.0 mg L
