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 photosynthetic organisms, photoprotection to avoid overexcitation of photosystems is a prerequisite for survival. Green algae have evolved light-inducible photoprotective mechanisms mediated by genes such as light-harvesting complex stress-related (LHCSR). Studies on the light-dependent regulation of LHCSR expression in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have revealed that photoreceptors for blue light (phototropin) and ultraviolet light perception (UVR8) play key roles in initiating photoprotective signal transduction. Although initial light perception via phototropin or UVR8 is known to result in increased LHCSR3 and LHCSR1 gene expression, respectively, the mechanisms of signal transduction from the input (light perception) to the output (gene expression) remain unclear. In this study, to further elucidate the signal transduction pathway of the photoprotective response of green algae, we established a systematic screening protocol for UV-inducible LHCSR1 gene expression mutants using a bioluminescence reporter assay. Following random mutagenesis screening, we succeeded in isolating mutants deficient in LHCSR1 gene and protein expression after UV illumination. Further characterization revealed that the obtained mutants could be separated into 3 different phenotype groups, the "UV-specific", "LHCSR1-promoter/transcript-specific" and "general photoprotective" mutant groups, which provided further insight into photoprotective signal transduction in C. reinhardtii.
