Structure, regulation and assembly of the photosynthetic electron transport chain.
Review in Nature reviews. Molecular cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 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
The electron transfer chain of chloroplast thylakoid membranes uses solar energy to split water into electrons and protons, creating energetic gradients that drive the formation of photosynthetic fuel in the form of NADPH and ATP. These metabolites are then used to power the fixation of carbon dioxide into biomass through the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle in the chloroplast stroma. Recent advances in molecular genetics, structural biology and spectroscopy have provided an unprecedented understanding of the molecular events involved in photosynthetic electron transfer from photon capture to ATP production. Specifically, we have gained insights into the assembly of the photosynthetic complexes into larger supercomplexes, thylakoid membrane organization and the mechanisms underpinning efficient light harvesting, photoprotection and oxygen evolution. In this Review, I focus on the angiosperm plant thylakoid system, outlining our current knowledge on the structure, function, regulation and assembly of each component of the photosynthetic chain. I explain how solar energy is harvested and converted into chemical energy by the photosynthetic electron transfer chain, how its components are integrated into a complex membrane macrostructure and how this organization contributes to regulation and photoprotection.
