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

Govindjee (one name only), who himself is an institution, has been recognized and honored by many in the past for he is a true ambassador of "Photosynthesis Research" to the World. He has been called "Mr. Photosynthesis", and compared to the Great Wall of China. To us in Třeboň, he has been a great research collaborator in our understanding of chlorophyll a fluorescence in algae and in cyanobacteria, and more than that a friend of the Czech "Photosynthesis" group, from the time of Ivan Šetlík (1928-2009) and of Zdeněk Šesták (1932-2008). Govindjee's 80th (really 81st) birthday was celebrated by the Institute of Microbiology, Laboratory of Photosynthesis, by toasting him with an appropriate drink of a suspension of green algae grown at the institute itself. After my presentation, on October 23, 2013, of Govindjee's contributions to photosynthesis, and his intimate association with the photosynthetikers (in Jack Myers's words) of the Czech Republic, Govindjee gave us his story of how he began research in photosynthesis in the late 1950s. This was followed by a talk on October 25 by him on "Photosynthesis: Stories of the Past." Everyone enjoyed his animated talk-it was full of life and enjoyment. Here, I present a brief pictorial essay on Govindjee at his 80th (really 81st) birthday in Třeboň during October 23-25, 2013.
