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

Cyanobacteria respond to nutrient-limiting conditions by degrading their phycobilisomes (PBS), the light-harvesting complexes for photosynthesis. In Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942, the expression of nblA, an essential gene in this process, is controlled by the response regulator NblR and the sensor NblS. Here we study the effect of inactivation of dspA (an nblS homologue) and an nblR-like gene on phycobilisome degradation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, under nitrogen starvation. In each mutant, the expression of nblA was found to be unaffected and sequential PBS degradation occurred after nitrogen deprivation (although it was slightly delayed). Our results demonstrate that dspA and nblR-like do not exert a major control of PBS degradation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
