The conjugating green alga Zygnema sp. (Zygnematophyceae) from the Arctic shows high frost tolerance in mature cells (pre-akinetes).
Article in Protoplasma, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Green algae of the genus Zygnema form extensive mats and produce large amounts of biomass in shallow freshwater habitats. Environmental stresses including freezing may perturb these mats, which usually have only annual character. To estimate the limits of survival at subzero temperatures, freezing resistance of young Zygnema sp. (strain MP2011Skan) cells and pre-akinetes was investigated. Young, 2-week-old cultures were exposed to temperatures of 0 to - 14 °C at 2-K steps, whereas 8-month-old cultures were frozen from - 10 to - 70 °C at 10-K intervals. Cell viability after freezing was determined by 0.1% auramine O vital fluorescence staining and measurements of the effective quantum yield of photosystem II (Ф
