Glutamate synthase is plastid-encoded in a red alga: implications for the evolution of glutamate synthases.
Article in Plant molecular biology, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
An actively transcribed gene (glsF) encoding for ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT) was found on the plastid genome of the multicellular red alga Antithamnion sp. Fd-GOGAT is not plastid-encoded in chlorophytic plants, demonstrating that red algal plastid genomes encode for additional functions when compared to those known from green chloroplasts. Moreover, our results suggest that the plant Fd-GOGAT has an endosymbiotic origin. The same may not be true for NADPH-dependent GOGAT. In Antithamnion glsF is flanked upstream by cpcBA and downstream by psaC and is transcribed monocistronically. Implications of these results for the evolution of GOGAT enzymes and the plastid genome are discussed.
