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

The microalga Chlorella vulgaris was cultured under the aerial-phase conditions with or without nitrogen to investigate the effects on lipid production. Under the three culture conditions (liquid conditions without nitrogen; aerial-phase conditions with and without nitrogen), oxygen production decreased during the culture period, indicating that photosynthetic activity was suppressed. The carbohydrate content was lower in the algal cells cultured under aerial-phase conditions than under non-aerial conditions, suggesting that carbohydrate biosynthesis was suppressed and that accumulated carbohydrates were used for lipid biosynthesis. The dry cell weight under aerial-phase conditions with or without a nitrogen source increased 2.9- and 2.4-fold over 14 days, respectively, while lipid content increased 5.1- and 5.9-fold. C. vulgaris underwent cell division and produced biomass and lipids under both nutrient-depleted and nitrogen-supplemented conditions. Aerial-phase cultivation with nitrogen could simultaneously achieve growth and lipid accumulation, supporting the potential for sustainable biodiesel production using C. vulgaris under the aerial-phase conditions.
