Microplastic characteristics differentially influence cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom microbial community membership, growth, and toxin production.
Article in Sustainable microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Terrestrial runoffs contribute to cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) by providing nutrients and other pollutants that may facilitate cyanobacterial growth. Microplastics (MPs) are being detected at increasing concentrations in various aquatic systems worldwide, including freshwater, yet the MP effects on cHAB formation, toxin production, and transport are largely unknown. We used the statistical design of experiments to elucidate microbe-plastic interactions with freshwater algal bloom communities obtained from a HAB event in the Great Lakes. These experiments measured the impact of differing sizes, concentrations, and UV aging times of polyethylene, polypropylene, and cellulose fibers on the chlorophyll-
