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

Flocculation is key to the performance of biofloc systems, and largely achieved using synthetic flocculants, which are not cost-effective. In this study, we investigate the potential of de-oiled Moringa oleifera seed powder (DMSP) as a natural bio-flocculant in biofloc system to enhance floc formation and water quality. DMSP was prepared through drying, husk removal, grinding, and oil extraction, then characterized for particle size, charge, and surface features. Laboratory tests confirmed strong flocculation efficiency, removing over 90% suspended solids at optimal conditions. A 45-day biofloc trial with catfish, Clarias magur (avg. wt. = 0.36 ± 0.02 g) stocked at 80 individuals per tank revealed that 70 mg L
