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

Conidial formation in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is regulated by nutritional conditions, light, and the circadian clock. We found that a sod-1 mutant, with a defective superoxide dismutase catalyzing the conversion of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide, had a slightly shorter period length than the wild type and clear conidial banding similar to a mutant of band (bd). However, unlike the bd mutant, the sod-1 mutant could sustain conidial banding with light pulses on a nutrient-rich medium, which involved an enhancement of the light-induced transcription of frequency (frq). sod-1 was hypersensitive to entrainment of the conidiation rhythm by light in race tubes. Furthermore, a frq(10); sod-1 double mutant showed conidiation rhythm in darkness and could be synchronized to light/dark cycles by the masking effect of light. These genetic analyses suggested that intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) act on circadian conidiation via multiple circadian clocks and output pathways.
