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

Lichens often grow in microhabitats where they absorb more light than they can use for fixing carbon, and this excess energy can cause the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lichen mycobionts can reduce ROS formation by synthesizing light-screening pigments such as melanins in the upper cortex, while the photobionts can dissipate excess energy radiationlessly using non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). An inherent problem with using fluorimetry techniques to compare NPQ in pale and melanised thalli is that NPQ is normally measured through a variously pigmented upper cortex. Here we used a dissection technique to remove the lower cortices and medullas of
