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

Until now, only five photoactive pigments have been identified in Euglena gracilis and there has been contradictory reporting of the major carotenoid. The impact of various environmental factors on the carotenoid content of E. gracilis has not been well studied. Using an improved HPLC UV-VIS method, combined with mass spectrometry, we have now identified 12 photoactive pigments from E. gracilis extracts and confirmed diadinoxanthin as the major carotenoid produced in E. gracilis. After testing cultivation media and major carbon sources (addition of glucose-2-20 g/L, ethanol-0.2%-2.0% w/v), we found that EG: JM with 0.8% ethanol increased diadinoxanthin relative production by 361% (4.29 mg/L) when compared to standard cultivation (EG media, 24 h light, PPFD 25.9 μmol/m
