Excitation transfer between photosynthetic units: the 1964 experiment.
Article in Photosynthesis research, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
We review here the background and the experiments that led to the concept of excitation energy transfer among photosystem (PS) II units. On the basis of a kinetic analysis of oxygen evolution and chlorophyll a fluorescence yield, the authors showed, in 1964, that the PS II photochemical reaction involved in the formation of oxygen is not a first-order process. We concluded that excitation energy localized in a 'photosynthetic unit' including a reduced primary acceptor is transferred with a high probability to neighboring PS II units. Here, the beginnings and the original data of this topic are presented.
