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 water-oxidizing manganese complex bound to the proteins of photosystem II (PSII) was studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy on PSII membrane particles. An extended range for collection of extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) data was used (up to 16.6A(-1)). The EXAFS suggests the presence of two Mn-Mn distances close to 2.7A (per Mn4Ca complex); the existence of a third Mn-Mn distance below 2.9A is at least uncertain. Interestingly, a distance of 3.7A is clearly resolved in the extended-range data and tentatively assigned to a Mn-Mn distance. Taking into account the above EXAFS results (inter alia), we present a model for the structure of the PSII manganese complex, which differs from previous atomic-resolution models. Emphasizing the hypothetical character, we propose for all semi-stable S-states: (i) a structure of the Mn4Ca(mu-O)n core, (ii) a model of the amino acid environment, and (iii) assignments of distinct Mn oxidation states to all the individual Mn ions. This specific working model may permit discussion, verification and invalidation of its various features in comparison with experimental and theoretical findings.
