Genetic engineering in diatoms: advances and prospects.
Review in The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Diatoms are among the most diverse and ecologically significant groups of photosynthetic microalgae, contributing over 20% of global primary productivity. Their ecological significance, unique biology, and genetic tractability make them ideal targets for genetic and genomic engineering and metabolic reprogramming. Over the past few decades, numerous genetic methods have been developed and applied to these organisms to better understand the function of individual genes and how they underpin diatom metabolism. Additionally, the ability of diatoms to synthesize diverse high-value metabolites and elaborate mineral structures offers significant potential for applications in biotechnology, including the synthesis of novel pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and biomaterials. This review discusses the latest developments in diatom genetic engineering and provides prospects not only to promote the use of diatoms in diverse fields of biotechnology but also to deepen our understanding of their role in natural ecosystems.
