Photoacclimation strategies in cyanobacterial photosynthesis under dynamic light environments: implications in growth, fitness, and biotechnological applications.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. 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
Cyanobacteria, ancient oxygenic photoautotrophs originated in the Precambrian period, exhibit remarkable adaptability to diverse ecological systems. Light, a critical environmental factor, exerts differential pressures on these organisms. The scattering of white light creates dynamic light environments, which poses a significant ecological challenge. To thrive in dynamic light environment, cyanobacteria have developed several light acclimation strategies. This includes chromatic acclimation, which optimize light harvesting by adjusting pigments. Cyanobacteria also employ robust photoprotective mechanisms against quantitative light stress. Under high light, these organisms activate non-photochemical quenching using the proteins such as orange carotenoid protein, iron starvation-induced protein, and high light-induced proteins to safely dissipate excess excitation energy. Additionally, thylakoid-localized respiratory enzymes alleviate electronic pressure arising from over-reduction of the plastoquinone pool. Under low light conditions, cyanobacteria frequently employ state transitions, reversibly associating their phycobilisomes with PSII and PSI to optimize light harvesting. These natural strategies offer a blueprint for engineering cyanobacteria and algae for their application in biomanufacturing and CO
