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

In this study, electron paramagnetic resonance spin-trapping spectroscopy was used to study the light-induced production of superoxide anion (O2 (•-)) and carbon-centered (R(•)) radicals by Photosystem II (PSII). It is evidenced here that exposure of PSII membranes to high light (2,000 μmol photons m(-2) s(-1)) or heat (47 °C) treatments prior to the illumination suppressed O2 (•-) production, while R(•) was formed. Formation of R(•) in the both high light- and heat-treated PSII membranes was enhanced by DCMU. Removal of molecular oxygen by glucose/glucose oxidase/catalase system and O2 (•-) scavenging by exogenous superoxide dismutase completely suppressed carbon-centered radical formation. It is proposed here that the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and amino acids by O2 (•-) on the electron acceptor side of PSII results in the formation of R(•), known to initiate a cascade reaction leading to the lipid peroxidation and protein degradation, respectively.
