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 plants, inactivation of either of the thylakoid proteins PGR5 and PGRL1 impairs cyclic electron flow (CEF) around photosystem I. Because PGR5 is unstable in the absence of the redox-active PGRL1, but not vice versa, PGRL1 is thought to be essential for CEF. However, we show here that inactivation of PGRL2, a distant homolog of PGRL1, relieves the need for PGRL1 itself. Conversely, high levels of PGRL2 destabilize PGR5 even when PGRL1 is present. In the absence of both PGRL1 and PGRL2, PGR5 alters thylakoid electron flow and impairs plant growth. Consequently, PGR5 can operate in CEF on its own, and is the target of the CEF inhibitor antimycin A, but its activity must be modulated by PGRL1. We conclude that PGRL1 channels PGR5 activity, and that PGRL2 triggers the degradation of PGR5 when the latter cannot productively interact with PGRL1.
