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

Femtosecond time-resolved stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) is used to examine the photoisomerization dynamics in the excited state of bacteriorhodopsin. Near-IR stimulated emission is observed in the FSRS probe window that decays with a 400-600-fs time constant. Additionally, dispersive vibrational lines appear at the locations of the ground-state vibrational frequencies and decay with a 260-fs time constant. The dispersive line shapes are caused by a nonlinear effect we term Raman initiated by nonlinear emission (RINE) that generates vibrational coherence on the ground-state surface. Theoretical expressions for the RINE line shapes are developed and used to fit the spectral and temporal evolution of the spectra. The rapid 260-fs decay of the RINE peak intensity, compared to the slower evolution of the stimulated emission, indicates that the excited-state population moves in approximately 260 fs to a region on the potential energy surface where the RINE signal is attenuated. This loss of RINE signal is best explained by structural evolution of the excited-state population along multiple low-frequency modes that carry the molecule out of the harmonic photochemically inactive Franck-Condon region and into the photochemically active geometry.
