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

Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 has four genes encoding flavodiiron proteins (FDPs; Flv1 to Flv4). Here, we investigated the flv4-flv2 operon encoding the Flv4, Sll0218, and Flv2 proteins, which are strongly expressed under low inorganic carbon conditions (i.e., air level of CO(2)) but become repressed at elevated CO(2) conditions. Different from FDP homodimers in anaerobic microbes, Synechocystis Flv2 and Flv4 form a heterodimer. It is located in cytoplasm but also has a high affinity to membrane in the presence of cations. Sll0218, on the contrary, resides in the thylakoid membrane in association with a high molecular mass protein complex. Sll0218 operates partially independently of Flv2/Flv4. It stabilizes the photosystem II (PSII) dimers, and according to biophysical measurements opens up a novel electron transfer pathway to the Flv2/Flv4 heterodimer from PSII. Constructed homology models suggest efficient electron transfer in heterodimeric Flv2/Flv4. It is suggested that Flv2/Flv4 binds to thylakoids in light, mediates electron transfer from PSII, and concomitantly regulates the association of phycobilisomes with PSII. The function of the flv4-flv2 operon provides many β-cyanobacteria with a so far unknown photoprotection mechanism that evolved in parallel with oxygen-evolving PSII.
