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

The highly efficient light-driven energy conversion in large biological complexes, such as the Photosynthetic Reaction Center (RC) of green sulfur bacteria (GSB), relies on precisely tuned protein dynamics and intersubunit communication. Small membrane proteins are critical regulators of this efficiency; yet, their mechanistic roles in dictating photophysical and electron transfer properties remain largely elusive. We leverage atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations integrated with advanced Graph Network Analysis tools to uncover the functional significance of two peripheral subunits, PscE and PscF, on the GSB RC complex. These subunits occupy critical interfacial positions that dynamically regulate the complex's architecture. PscE forms a persistent interaction with PscC, exerting a steric influence on a PscA core helix. In parallel, the peripheral PscE-PscF pair modulates the coupling between PscC and the P
