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

Electrodynamic interactions between biomolecules are of potential biological interest for temporal and spatial molecular controls, warranting investigation of their activation through various mechanisms in living systems. Using a light-harvesting protein in the phycobilisome antenna system of red algae, we proved that not only light exposure but also thermal energy alone can trigger attractive electrodynamic interactions up to hundreds of nanometers, sustained by low-frequency collective modes. Activation of such modes and interactions might influence conformational rearrangements and energy transport within the phycobilisome system. This paradigm shift underscores the immense potential of biological systems in exploiting different forms of energy to achieve optimal energy transfer.
