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

The reaction center core of photosystem II is composed of two chlorophyll binding proteins, D1 and D2, that are encoded by the chloroplast genes psbA and psbD. These chlorophyll binding proteins are damaged during photochemistry, especially under high irradiance. Photosystem II function is maintained under these conditions through turnover and resynthesis of D1 and D2. Blue light-activated transcription of psbD from a special light-responsive promoter is part of the repair system. In this study, light-activated chloroplast and psbD transcription were studied after dark adaptation of 21-day-old light-grown Arabidopsis plants. Illumination of dark-adapted plants with red light increased chloroplast transcription activity and transcription from the psbD light-responsive promoter. Blue light further increased chloroplast transcription activity and stimulated differential transcription from the psbD light-responsive promoter. Photoreceptor mutants showed that blue light-specific activation of chloroplast transcription and the psbD light-responsive promoter involve cryptochrome 1 (cry1) or cryptochrome 2 (cry2) and phytochrome A (phyA). Blue light-induced activation of the psbD light-responsive promoter was normal in det2-1 and hy5-1 but attenuated in det3-1. Therefore, cry1/cry2/phyA-mediated blue light activation of the psbD light-responsive promoter in 21-day-old Arabidopsis plants does not involve hy5, a transcription factor that mediates other phyA and blue light-induced responses.
