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

This chapter describes our current understanding of the genetics of the Neurospora clock and summarizes the important findings in this area in the past decade. Neurospora is the most intensively studied clock system, and the reasons for this are listed. A discussion of the genetic interactions between clock mutants is included, highlighting the utility of dissecting complex mechanisms by genetic means. The molecular details of the Neurospora circadian clock mechanism are described, as well as the mutations that affect the key clock proteins, FRQ, WC-1, and WC-2, with an emphasis on the roles of protein phosphorylation. Studies on additional genes affecting clock properties are described and place these genes into two categories: those that affect the FRQ/WCC oscillator and those that do not. A discussion of temperature compensation and the mutants affecting this property is included. A section is devoted to the observations pertinent to the existence of other oscillators in this organism with respect to their properties, their effects, and their preliminary characterization. The output of the clock and the control of clock-controlled genes are discussed, emphasizing the phasing of these genes and the layers of control. In conclusion, the authors provide an outlook summarizing their suggestions for areas that would be fruitful for further exploration.
