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 article, I would like to look back at my life as a researcher of photosynthesis. I was born in 1949, and grew up and was educated in postwar Japan in the 1950s and 1960s. I have studied photosynthesis, in particular Photosystem II, after research experiences in the USA and UK. My study of Photosystem II has continued over 43 years until now. Through the present retrospection, I would like to suggest that all photosynthesis researchers, including the members of the "49ers", many other established scientists, and young students as well, should not simply stay in the lab working hard on their studies and writing papers; but should also do something for the public. People want to learn from us about many critical social issues such as the environment, food, energy and, most importantly, peace. I believe that our knowledge must form an important basis for people to take action to create a peaceful and harmonious human society.
