CO2-concentrating mechanism in cyanobacterial photosynthesis: organization, physiological role, and evolutionary origin.
Review in Photosynthesis research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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 cellular and molecular organization of the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) of cyanobacteria is reviewed. The primary processes of uptake, translocation, and accumulation of inorganic carbon (Ci) near the active site of carbon assimilation by the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase in the C3 cycle in cyanobacteria are described as one of the specialized forms of CO2 concentration which occurs in some photoautotrophic cells. The existence of this form of CO2 concentration expands our understanding of photosynthetic Ci assimilation. The means of supplying Ci to the C3 cycle in cyanobacteria is not by simple diffusion into the cell, but it is the result of coordinated functions of high-affinity systems for the uptake of CO2 and bicarbonate, as well as intracellular CO2/HCO3 (-) interconversions by carbonic anhydrases. These biochemical events are under genetic control, and they serve to maintain cellular homeostasis and adaptation to CO2 limitation. Here we describe the organization of the CCM in cyanobacteria with a special focus on the CCM of relict halo- and alkaliphilic cyanobacteria of soda lakes. We also assess the role of the CCM at the levels of the organism, the biosphere, and evolution.
