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
The functional peculiarities and responses of the photosynthetic system in the flowering homoiochlorophyllous desiccation-tolerant (HDT) Haberlea rhodopensis and the non-desiccation-tolerant spinach were compared during desiccation and rehydration. Increasing rate of water loss clearly modifies the kinetic parameters of fluorescence induction, thermoluminescence emission, far-red induced P700 oxidation and oxygen evolution in the leaves of both species. The values of these parameters returned nearly to the control level after 24 h rehydration only of the leaves of HDT plant. PS II was converted in a non-functional state in desiccated spinach in accordance with the changes in membrane permeability, malondialdehyde, proline and H(2)O(2) contents. Moreover, our data showed a strong reduction of the total number of PS II centers in Haberlea without any changes in the energetics of the charge recombination. We consider this observation, together with the previously reported unusually high temperature of B-band (S(2)Q(B)-) emission of Haberlea to reflect some specific adaptive characteristics of the photosynthetic system. As far as we know this is the first time when such adaptive characteristics and mechanism of the photosynthetic system of a flowering HDT higher plant is described. These features of Haberlea can explain the fast recovery of its photosynthesis after desiccation, which enable this HDT plant to rapidly take advantage of frequent changes in water availability.
