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 light-harvesting core complex of the thermophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium Roseiflexus castenholzii is intrinsic to the cytoplasmic membrane and intimately bound to the reaction center (RC). Using ultrafast transient absorption and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy with selective excitation, energy transfer, and trapping dynamics in the core complex have been investigated at room temperature in both open and closed RCs. Results presented in this report revealed that the excited energy transfer from the BChl 800 to the BChl 880 band of the antenna takes about 2 ps independent of the trapping by the RC. The time constants for excitation quenching in the core antenna BChl 880 by open and closed RCs were found to be 60 and 210 ps, respectively. Assuming that the light harvesting complex is generally similar to LH1 of purple bacteria, the possible structural and functional aspects of this unique antenna complex are discussed. The results show that the core complex of Roseiflexus castenholzii contains characteristics of both purple bacteria and Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
