The PII protein in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 is modified by serine phosphorylation and signals the cellular N-status.

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
The glnB gene product (PII protein) from Synechococcus sp. has previously been identified among 32P-labeled proteins, and its modification state has been observed to depend on both the nitrogen source and the spectral light quality (N. F. Tsinoremas, A. M. Castets, M. A. Harrison, J. F. Allen, and N. Tandeau de Marsac, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:4565-4569, 1991). As shown in this study, modification of the PII protein primarily responds to the N-status of the cell, and its light-dependent variations are are mediated through nitrate metabolism. Modification of the PII protein results in the appearance of three isomeric forms with increasing negative charge. Unlike its homolog counterparts characterized so far, PII in Synechococcus sp. is modified by phosphorylation on a serine residue, which represents a unique kind of protein modification in bacterial nitrogen signalling pathways.
