The CONSTANS flowering complex controls the protective response of photosynthesis in the green alga Chlamydomonas.

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
Light is essential for photosynthesis, but the amounts of light that exceed an organism's assimilation capacity can result in oxidative stress and even cell death. Plants and microalgae have developed a photoprotective response mechanism, qE, that dissipates excess light energy as thermal energy. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, qE is regulated by light-inducible photoprotective proteins, but the pathway from light perception to qE is not fully understood. Here, we show that the transcription factors CONSTANS and Nuclear transcription Factor Ys (NF-Ys) form a complex that governs light-dependent photoprotective responses in C. reinhardtii. The qE responses do not occur in CONSTANS or NF-Y mutants. The signal from light perception to the CONSTANS/NF-Ys complex is directly inhibited by the SPA1/COP1-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase. This negative regulation mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase and the CONSTANS/NF-Ys complex is common to photoprotective response in algal photosynthesis and flowering in plants.
