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

NDH-1 is a key component of the cyclic-electron-transfer around photosystem I (PSI CET) pathway, an important antioxidant mechanism for efficient photosynthesis. Here, we report a 3.2-Å-resolution cryo-EM structure of the ferredoxin (Fd)-NDH-1L complex from the cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus. The structure reveals three β-carotene and fifteen lipid molecules in the membrane arm of NDH-1L. Regulatory oxygenic photosynthesis-specific (OPS) subunits NdhV, NdhS and NdhO are close to the Fd-binding site whilst NdhL is adjacent to the plastoquinone (PQ) cavity, and they play different roles in PSI CET under high-light stress. NdhV assists in the binding of Fd to NDH-1L and accelerates PSI CET in response to short-term high-light exposure. In contrast, prolonged high-light irradiation switches on the expression and assembly of the NDH-1MS complex, which likely contains no NdhO to further accelerate PSI CET and reduce ROS production. We propose that this hierarchical mechanism is necessary for the survival of cyanobacteria in an aerobic environment.
