Photosynthetic control at the cytochrome b6f complex.
Review in The Plant cell, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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
Photosynthetic control (PCON) is a protective mechanism that prevents light-induced damage to PSI by ensuring the rate of NADPH and ATP production via linear electron transfer (LET) is balanced by their consumption in the CO2 fixation reactions. Protection of PSI is a priority for plants since they lack a dedicated rapid-repair cycle for this complex, meaning that any damage leads to prolonged photoinhibition and decreased growth. The imbalance between LET and the CO2 fixation reactions is sensed at the level of the transthylakoid ΔpH, which increases when light is in excess. The canonical mechanism of PCON involves feedback control by ΔpH on the plastoquinol oxidation step of LET at cytochrome b6f. PCON thereby maintains the PSI special pair chlorophylls (P700) in an oxidized state, which allows excess electrons unused in the CO2 fixation reactions to be safely quenched via charge recombination. In this review we focus on angiosperms, consider how photo-oxidative damage to PSI comes about, explore the consequences of PSI photoinhibition on photosynthesis and growth, discuss recent progress in understanding PCON regulation, and finally consider the prospects for its future manipulation in crop plants to improve photosynthetic efficiency.
