Photosynthetic diode: electron transport rectification by wetting the quinone cofactor.

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
We report 11 μs of molecular dynamics simulations of the electron-transfer reaction between primary and secondary quinone cofactors in the bacterial reaction center. The main question addressed here is the mechanistic reason for unidirectional electron transfer between chemically identical cofactors. We find that electron is trapped at the secondary quinone by wetting of the protein pocket following electron transfer on the time-scale shorter than the backward transition. This mechanism provides effective rectification of the electron transport, making the reaction center a molecular diode operating by cyclic charge-induced electrowetting.
