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

Efficient photosynthetic electron transfer relies on transient interactions between photosystem I (PSI) and soluble electron carriers. However, structural information describing these transient interactions are limited in red algae. Here, we applied chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to isolated thylakoid membranes of the red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae and generated an interactome map of photosynthetic protein complexes. Using three independent cross-link identification algorithms, we obtained a high-confidence dataset of intra/intercomplex interactions. Among them, we identified a cross-link between K94 of FNR and K108 of the stromal subunit PsaD. Cross-linking restraint-guided protein-protein docking using HADDOCK2.4 revealed a direct docking interface for FNR on PsaD side. Structural analysis of the resulting complex indicated that the binding of FNR to PSI is predominantly electrostatic, in which the K4 residue of FNR is involved in making a salt bridge with E91 of PsaD as well as a conventional hydrogen bond with G90 of PsaD. Site-directed mutagenesis of the FNR K4 residue significantly impaired the NADP
