Accumulation of the components of cyclic electron flow around photosystem I in C4 plants, with respect to the requirements for ATP.
Review in Photosynthesis research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
By concentrating CO2, C4 photosynthesis can suppress photorespiration and achieve high photosynthetic efficiency, especially under conditions of high light, high temperature, and drought. To concentrate CO2, extra ATP is required, which would also require a change in photosynthetic electron transport in C4 photosynthesis from that in C3 photosynthesis. Several analyses have shown that the accumulation of the components of cyclic electron flow (CEF) around photosystem I, which generates the proton gradient across thylakoid membranes (ΔpH) and functions in ATP production without producing NADPH, is increased in various NAD-malic enzyme and NADP-malic enzyme C4 plants, suggesting that CEF may be enhanced to satisfy the increased need for ATP in C4 photosynthesis. However, in C4 plants, the accumulation patterns of the components of two partially redundant pathways of CEF, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase-like complex and PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION5-PGR5-like1 complex, are not identical, suggesting that these pathways may play different roles in C4 photosynthesis. Accompanying the increase in the amount of NDH, the expression of some genes which encode proteins involved in the assembly of NDH is also increased at the mRNA level in various C4 plants, suggesting that this increase is needed to increase the accumulation of NDH. To better understand the relation between CEF and C4 photosynthesis, a reverse genetic approach to generate C4 transformants with respect to CEF will be necessary.
