More than just a pair of blue genes: how cyanobacteria adapt to changes in their light environment.
Article in Physiologia plantarum, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cyanobacteria require light to perform photosynthesis, but not all colors of light are equally useable for them. In particular, blue light-grown cyanobacterial strains, including the well-studied model organism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Synechocystis), have been observed to exhibit slower growth rates than white or red light-grown cells. In this issue of Physiologia Plantarum, Luimstra et al. (2020) have attempted to understand why cyanobacterial cells suffer under blue light. They measured the molecular and genetic responses of Synechocystis cells to being shifted from white light to blue light. They found that blue light-grown cells make changes that lead to a redistribution of energy flow between the two photosystems that power photosynthesis. These findings could help researchers identify avenues for optimizing photosynthesis in cyanobacterial species, a group of organisms which show great promise as potential solar-powered factories for the production of biofuels and other high-value products.
