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

High-light illumination of photosynthetic organisms stimulates the production of singlet oxygen by photosystem II (PSII) and causes photo-oxidative stress. In the PSII reaction centre, singlet oxygen is generated by the interaction of molecular oxygen with the excited triplet state of chlorophyll (Chl). The triplet Chl is formed via charge recombination of the light-induced charge pair. Changes in the midpoint potential of the primary electron donor P(680) of the primary acceptor pheophytin or of the quinone acceptor Q(A), modulate the pathway of charge recombination in PSII and influence the yield of singlet oxygen formation. The involvement of singlet oxygen in the process of photoinhibition is discussed. Singlet oxygen is efficiently quenched by beta-carotene, tocopherol or plastoquinone. If not quenched, it can trigger the up-regulation of genes, which are involved in the molecular defence response of photosynthetic organisms against photo-oxidative stress.
