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

Many photosynthetic organisms exhibit light-dependent regulation of growth and development, including photoregulation of pigmentation, physiology, and form. We recently demonstrated that the photoregulation of cellular and filament morphology in Fremyella diplosiphon is under control of a photosensory photoreceptor and differentially impacted by photosynthetic pigment accumulation. Biliprotein photoreceptor RcaE controls the light-dependent regulation of pigmentation and of cell and filament morphology in F. diplosiphon, primarily in response to green and red light as a part of a light acclimation process known as complementary chromatic adaptation (CCA). Our recent investigations into the regulation of CCA underscored the largely independent regulation of pigmentation and cell shape by RcaE. However, recent studies on the regulation of phycobiliprotein biosynthesis indicated that filament length may depend upon correct photoregulation of photosynthetic pigment levels. Taken together, these studies suggest that aspects of the regulation of morphology in F. diplosiphon are independent of the regulation of pigmentation, yet other features of morphology depend upon the accurate photoregulation of pigment levels.
