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

Semiartificial photosynthesis integrates photosynthetic enzymes with artificial electronics, which is an emerging approach to reroute the natural photoelectrogenetic pathways for sustainable fuel and chemical synthesis. However, the reduced catalytic activity of enzymes in bioelectrodes limits the overall performance and further applications in fuel production. Here, we show new insights into factors that affect the photoelectrogenesis in a model system consisting of photosystem II and three-dimensional indium tin oxide and graphene electrodes. Confocal fluorescence microscopy and in situ surface-sensitive infrared spectroscopy are employed to probe the enzyme distribution and penetration within electrode scaffolds of different structures, which is further correlated with protein film-photoelectrochemistry to establish relationships between the electrode architecture and enzyme activity. We find that the hierarchical structure of electrodes mainly influences the protein loading but not the enzyme activity. Photoactivity is more limited by light intensity and electronic communication at the biointerface. This study provides guidelines for maximizing the performance of semiartificial photosynthesis and also presents a set of methodologies to probe the photoactive biofilms in three-dimensional electrodes.
