Effects of Audible Sound and Ultrasound on Microalgae: Growth Responses and Metabolite Production.
Review in Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Developing sustainable strategies to enhance microalgal productivity is a major challenge in modern biotechnology. Beyond optimizing light, nutrient supply, and temperature, physical stimulation methods have recently attracted growing interest. Among these, audible sound and ultrasound have emerged as promising tools capable of influencing growth, biomass accumulation, and metabolite production in several microalgal species. Although the available literature is still limited, current evidence suggests that acoustic stimulation can alter cellular physiology through mechanosensitive responses, changes in membrane permeability, and modulation of metabolic activity. This review summarizes current knowledge on the effects of sound waves on microalgae, discusses potential mechanisms involved in acoustic perception, and highlights future research directions.
