Photosynthetic performance of photobionts under intense visible and UV-A radiation in lichens with light-absorbing or light-reflecting fungal pigments.

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
This study investigated the effect of exposure to direct sunlight and its main components, i.e. visible (VIS) radiation and long-wavelength UV-A (UV-A1; 350-400 nm) radiation, on the photosynthetic performance of two mat-forming epigeic lichens Cetraria aculeata (melanic species with light-absorbing cortex) and Cladonia uncialis (usnic species with light-reflecting cortex). A short-term (one-hour) irradiation stress was applied to metabolically active thalli and parameters related to photosynthesis at various recovery periods after treatment was examined through complementary in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence techniques (OJIP transients and quenching analysis), 77 K fluorescence emission spectra and assimilation pigment measurements. In both species, considerable but reversible photoinhibition of photosystem II was observed following sunlight and VIS radiation exposure, as evidenced by a significant decrease in F
