Redescription and neotypification of Alexandrium minutum Halim-the type species of Alexandrium-from its type locality in Alexandria, Egypt, with insights into ribotype biogeography and toxicity.

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
Alexandrium minutum Halim, the generitype species of the toxigenic Alexandrium, was described from a 1958 bloom in the Eastern Harbour, Alexandria (Egypt), but has never been re-examined with modern methods from the type locality. Here, we establish a monoclonal strain (TIO1796) by cyst germination from Alexandria's port sediment and a second strain (TIO1816) from plankton samples from the Gulf of Suez. Cell morphology of both cultured strains and plankton samples was examined using scanning electron and light microscopy. The plate formula of A. minutum was identified as Po, *4', 6'', 6C, 9S, 5''', 2p, 1''''. Our results confirmed the consistent presence of a ventral pore and a variable connection between Po and 1'. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on LSU rRNA gene and ITS rRNA region sequences revealed four ribotypes (A-D) of A. minutum. The LSU rRNA gene and ITS rRNA region sequences of both strains were identical and belong to the widespread ribotype A ("Global/Mediterranean clade"). The other ribotypes are restricted to the Asia-Pacific region. Strain TIO1796 (type locality) was non-toxic regarding paralytic shellfish toxin (PST < 0.024 pg · cell
