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

Circadian clocks are cellular timekeepers that regulate aspects of temporal organization on daily and seasonal time scales. To allow accurate time measurement, the period lengths of clocks are conserved in a range of temperatures--a phenomenon known as temperature compensation. Temperature compensation of circadian clock period aids in maintaining a stable "target time" or phase of clock-controlled events. Here we show that the Neurospora protein VIVID (VVD) buffers the circadian system against temperature fluctuations. In vvd-null mutants, the circadian period of clock-controlled events such as asexual sporulation (conidiation) is temperature compensated, but the phase of this clock time marker is not. Consistent with delayed conidiation at lower temperatures in vvd(KO) strains, the levels of vvd gene products in the wild type increase with decreasing temperatures. Moreover, vvd(C108A) mutants that lack the light function of VVD maintain a dark activity that transiently influences the phase of conidiation, indicating that VVD influences the time of conidiation downstream from the clock. FREQUENCY (FRQ) phosphorylation is altered in a vvd(KO) strain, suggesting a mechanism by which VVD can influence the timing of clock-controlled processes in the dark. Thus, temperature compensation of clock-controlled output is a key factor in maintaining temperature compensation of the entire circadian system.
