On the evolution of the concept of two light reactions and two photosystems for oxygenic photosynthesis: A personal perspective.
Review in Photosynthetica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
I present here a personal perspective of the evolution of the two-light reaction two-pigment scheme for the electron transport in oxygenic photosynthesis - as I have lived through it - first as a graduate student of Robert Emerson, from September 1956-January 1959, and then of Eugene Rabinowitch from February 1959-September 1960. I have provided here some of the key published work in my way and have also provided a few photographs. It is essential to remind ourselves upfront that different individuals may have different recollections of the same event (
