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

Forty-one isolates of the genus Aurantiochytrium were cultured from 32 samples collected from the Red Sea mangroves, Egypt. Cultured thraustochytrids isolated from: decaying leaves of Avicennia marina (34 isolates), decaying pneumatophores of A. marina (3 isolates), and decaying leaves of Zostera marina (4 isolates). Of the 41 strains, three strains (SUMCC 21014, SUMCC 21015, and SUMCC 21016) were selected based on both their high biomass production and high lipid content. Phylogenetic analyses based on 18 S rDNA placed the three strains within the Aurantiochytrium clade with high statistical support. The three strains were cultured on GYP broth (glucose, yeast extract, peptone) and exhibited different dry cell weights and lipid contents. Lipid profiles were determined using GC-FID analysis. Among the three studied strains, SUMCC 21016 produced the highest biomass of 2.04 g/L, the highest lipid content (0.991 g/L), and a good docosahexaenoic acid percentage (0.217 g/L). Among the three studied strains, SUMCC 21014 produced the highest percentages of DHA (30.3%) and EPA (5.45%) of the total fatty acids but its dry weight is lower than SUMCC 21016.
