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

Anthropogenic influences have increased global warming and eutrophication, escalating the frequency and severity of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (cHABs) in freshwater ecosystems. These blooms release cyanopeptides, a diverse class of bioactive compounds with varying acute and chronic toxicities upon ingestion. To date, research has prioritized acutely toxic cyanopeptides like microcystins. As a result, significantly less is known about other freshwater cyanopeptides. This review highlights six understudied cyanopeptide classes, anabaenopeptins, cyanopeptolins, aeruginosamides, aeruginosins, microginins, and cyclamides, and provides a comprehensive overview of their molecular structures, toxicological profiles, environmental concentrations, and known degradation pathways. Given the potential toxicity, increased environmental abundance, and environmental stability of many cyanopeptides in freshwater sources, further research is needed to understand if degraded cyanopeptides are still biologically active prior to entering drinking water to ensure public health.
