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

Cyanophages are viruses that infect cyanobacteria. An interesting feature of many of them is the presence of psbA and psbD, genes that encode D1 and D2 proteins, respectively. The D1 and D2 are core proteins of the photosystem II (PSII) in cyanobacteria, algae and plants and influence the proper function of oxygenic photosynthesis (OP) in all oxyphototrophs on Earth. The frequent occurrence of psbA and psbD in cyanophages raises the question whether these genes coevolved with hosts during the early stages of cyanophage and cyanobacterial evolution, or whether they are direct descendants of genes adopted from the genomes of cyanobacterial hosts. The phylogeny of D1/D2 proteins encoded in the genomes of selected cyanophages and oxyphototrophs was reconstructed. In addition, common ancestral sequences of D1 and D2 proteins were predicted for cyanophages and oxyphototrophs. Based on this, the reconstruction of the 3D structures of D1 and D2 proteins was performed. In addition, the ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous (d
