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

A new type of multi-color PAM chlorophyll fluorometer (Schreiber et al. 2012) was applied for measurements of photodamage to photosystem II (PS II) in optically thin suspensions of Chlorella (200 μg Chl l(-1)) in the presence of 1 mM lincomycin. An action spectrum of the relative decrease of F(v)/F(m) in the 440-625 nm range was measured, which not only showed the expected high activity in the blue, but at a lower level also substantial activity above 540 nm. With the same dilute suspension, a PS II absorption spectrum was derived via measurements of the O-I(1) rise kinetics induced by differently colored strong light at defined incident quantum flux densities. After normalization of the two spectra at 625 nm, the relative extent of photodamage at 440-480 nm proved substantially higher than absorption by PS II, whereas the two spectra were close to identical in the 540-625 nm range. Hence, overall photodamage to PS II appears to consist of two components, one of which is due to light absorbed by PS II pigments, whereas the other one is likely to involve direct light absorption by Mn in the oxygen-evolving complex (Hakala et al. Biochim Biophys Acta 1706:68-80, 2005). Based on this rationale, an action spectrum of the Mn mechanism of photodamage was deconvoluted from the overall action spectrum, declining steeply above 480 nm. An almost identical Mn-spectrum was derived by another approach with the PAR of the various colors being adjusted to give identical rates of PS II turnover, PAR (II). The tentative, basic assumption of negligibly small contribution of the Mn mechanism to photodamage above 540 nm was supported by supplementary measurements using an external 665 nm lamp. 665 nm not only gave about two times PS II turnover as compared to 625 nm, but also about two times photodamage.
