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

Charge transfer and transport are fundamental to chemistry and biochemistry. Since the 1950s, theorists and experimentalists have advanced the field to develop a molecular-level understanding of single-electron/one-step electron transfer, and ongoing studies explore multi-step, multi-electron, and multi-particle transfer and transport. This review highlights studies from our group on electron transfer beyond the one-electron/one-step regime. In particular, we review progress on electron bifurcation reactions, ultra-long range hopping transport in cable bacteria and bacterial nanowires, oxidative damage pathways, and charge transport pathways in nucleic acids. We highlight emerging themes and mechanisms across biological structures, including the roles being discovered for electron-electron correlations, rapid long-range multi-step biological electron transport, unconventional charge transport pathways, and competing charge transfer mechanisms.
