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

Fucoxanthin is the predominant carotenoid in diatoms, playing a central role in light harvesting and photoprotection, and is increasingly valued for its potential in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications. In this study, we investigated the influence of high nitrate supplementation, low-light exposure, and combined treatment, on fucoxanthin content and on the expression of key genes involved in its biosynthetic pathway in the marine diatom
