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

PsbR is a nonpigmented 10 kDa protein in Photosystem II (PSII) in algae and plants. A recent structural study clarified its enigmatic structural location in a Photosystem II megacomplex that has baffled the community for more than four decades. Our current study interrogates whether absence of PsbR affects the overall dynamics of excitation energy migration within light harvesting complexes (LHC) and PSII super assemblies using highly-active PSII membrane particles, so-called BBY particles, isolated from a PsbR deletion mutant (ΔPsbR) of Arabidopsis thaliana. A femto-second (fs)-time-resolved transient absorption experimentation recorded at 77 K with selective excitation of Chl b which is exclusively present in LHCs enabled us to resolve the temporal differences in LHC→LHC and LHC→PSII excitation energy transfer steps. By applying specific target spectro-kinetic models to the transient absorption datasets, we demonstrated that the time constants of Chl a
