The story of my life into and through the science of photosynthesis: a personal perspective.
Article in Photosynthetica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 the story of my personal and scientific life. I provide information on my parents, my childhood, schooling, education at the Wageningen Agricultural University, and the work for my PhD degree on the action of some herbicides on photosynthesis under the guidance of Professor Evert Christiaan Wassink. After graduation, I obtained a position as a professor. In 1977, I spent a one-year sabbatical with Professor Govindjee at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. This was the start of a long-time and successful cooperation on the effects of bicarbonate on Photosystem II. The research on the impact of herbicides on photosynthesis was extended in cooperation with Professor Ko Wakabayashi and his co-workers at the Tamagawa University at Machida-shi, Tokyo, Japan. Another topic of my research was the photoinhibition of PSII by too much light; for this, I worked with Professor Christa Critchley at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. At the end, I list my service in several professional committees.
