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

In Neurospora crassa, a circadian rhythm of conidiation (asexual spore formation) can be seen on the surface of agar media. This rhythm has a period of 22 hr in constant darkness (D/D). Under constant illumination (L/L), no rhythm is visible and cultures show constant conidiation. However, here we report that strains with a mutation in the vivid (vvd) gene, previously shown to code for the photoreceptor involved in photo-adaptation, exhibit conidiation rhythms in L/L as well as in D/D. The period of the rhythm of vvd strains ranges between 6 and 21 hr in L/L, depending upon the intensity of the light, the carbon source, and the presence of other mutations. Temperature compensation of the period also depends on light intensity. Dark pulses given in L/L shift the phase of the rhythm. Shifts from L/L to D/D show unexpected after effects; i.e., the short period of a vvd strain in L/L gradually lengthens over 2-3 days in D/D. The rhythm in L/L requires the white collar (wc-1) gene, but not the frequency (frq) gene. FRQ protein shows no rhythm in L/L in a vvd strain. The conidiation rhythm in L/L in vvd is therefore driven by a FRQ-less oscillator (FLO).
