Violaxanthin de-epoxidase.
Article in Plant physiology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Violaxanthin de-epoxidase catalyzes the de-epoxidation of violaxanthin to antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin in the xanthophyll cycle. Its activity is optimal at approximately pH 5.2 and requires ascorbate. In conjunction with the transthylakoid pH gradient, the formation of antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin reduces the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II by increasing the nonradiative (heat) dissipation of energy in the antennae. Previously, violaxanthin de-epoxidase had been partially purified. Here we report its purification from lettuce (Lactuca sativa var Romaine) to one major polypeptide fraction, detectable by two-dimensional isoelectic focusing/sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, using anion-exchange chromatography on Mono Q and a novel lipid-affinity precipitation step with monogalactosyldiacylglyceride. The association of violaxanthin de-epoxidase and monogalactosyldiacyglyceride at pH 5.2 is apparently specific, since little enzyme was precipitated by eight other lipids tested. Violaxanthin de-epoxidase has an isoelectric point of 5.4 and an apparent molecular mass of 43 kD. Partial amino acid sequences of the N terminus and tryptic fragments are reported. The peptide sequences are unique in the GenBank data base and suggest that violaxanthin de-epoxidase is nuclear encoded, similar to other chloroplast proteins localized in the lumen.
