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

Differential kinetic absorption spectra were measured during actinic illumination of photosystem II reaction centres and core complexes in the presence of electron acceptors silicomolybdate and ferricyanide. The spectra of samples with ferricyanide differ from those with both ferricyanide and silicomolybdate. Near-infrared spectra show temporary beta-carotene and peripheral chlorophyll oxidation during room temperature actinic illumination. Peripheral chlorophyll is photooxidized even after decay of beta-carotene oxidation activity and significant reduction of beta-carotene content in both reaction centres and photosystem II core complexes. Besides, new carotenoid cation is observed after about 1 s of actinic illumination in the reaction centres when silicomolybdate is present. Similar result was observed in PSII core complexes. HPLC analyses of illuminated reaction centres reveal several novel carotenoids, whereas no new carotenoid species were observed in HPLC of illuminated core complexes. Our data support the proposal that pigments of inner antenna are a sink of cations originating in the photosystem II reaction centre.
