Singlet fission mediates carotenoid-to-bacteriochlorophyll energy transfer in purple photosynthetic bacteria.
Article in Nature chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Photosynthesis, the foundation of most life, begins when sunlight is captured by (bacterio)chlorophyll ((B)Chl) and carotenoid (Crt) pigments. These molecules are arranged so that captured energy migrates rapidly to reaction centres, where it is stored as a charge separation. The complementary absorption of Crt and (B)Chl pigments, and rapid energy transfer between them, underpins solar harvesting. Here we report a Crt-to-BChl energy transfer mechanism mediated by singlet fission, in which a high-energy singlet exciton (with spin quantum number S = 0) is converted into two low-energy triplet (S = 1) excitons. In purple photosynthetic bacteria, the Crt S
