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 biogenesis of photosystem II, one of the major photosynthetic protein complexes, involves a cascade of assembly-governed regulation of translation of its major chloroplast-encoded subunits. In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the presence of the reaction center subunit D2 is required for the expression of the other reaction center subunit D1, while the presence of D1 is required for the expression of the core antenna subunit apoCP47. Using chimeric genes expressed in the chloroplast, we demonstrate that the decreased synthesis of D1 or apoCP47 in the absence of protein assembly is due to a genuine downregulation of translation. This regulation is mediated by the 5' untranslated region of the corresponding mRNA and originates from negative feedback exerted by the unassembled D1 or apoCP47 polypeptide. However, autoregulation of translation of subunit D1 is not implicated in the recovery from photoinhibition, which involves an increased translation of psbA mRNA in response to the degradation of photodamaged D1. De novo synthesis and repair of photosystem II complexes are independently controlled.
