Light-Regulation of Zeaxanthin Epoxidase in View of the Central Role of Zeaxanthin for Photoprotection.
Review in Physiologia plantarum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Plants are frequently exposed to fluctuating light conditions and, as a consequence, to variable photo-oxidative stress. Efficient and flexible photoprotection is therefore essential for the fitness of plants in the field. The xanthophyll zeaxanthin, which is formed in high light from violaxanthin in the xanthophyll cycle, contributes to photoprotection in the thylakoid membrane at different levels, including the dissipation of excess light energy. Permanent high levels of zeaxanthin are known to compromise photosynthetic efficiency. It is thus of high importance to keep the amount of zeaxanthin at an optimal level in response to the growth light conditions. The zeaxanthin epoxidase, which reconverts zeaxanthin to violaxanthin, has been shown to be central to balancing the zeaxanthin amount in the thylakoid membrane. This review summarizes the recent advances in the understanding of the light regulation of zeaxanthin epoxidase in the context of the function of zeaxanthin in plant photoprotection.
