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 rhythms govern various kinds of physiological and behavioral functions of the living organisms, and disruptions of the rhythms are highly detrimental to health. Although several databases have been built for circadian genes, a resource for comprehensive post-transcriptional regulatory information of circadian RNAs and expression patterns of disease-related circadian RNAs is still lacking. Here, we developed CirGRDB (http://cirgrdb.biols.ac.cn) by integrating more than 4936 genome-wide assays, with the aim of fulfilling the growing need to understand the rhythms of life. CirGRDB presents a friendly web interface that allows users to search and browse temporal expression patterns of interested genes in 37 human/mouse tissues or cell lines, and three clinical disorders including sleep disorder, aging and tumor. More importantly, eight kinds of potential transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators involved in the rhythmic expression of the specific genes, including transcription factors, histone modifications, chromatin accessibility, enhancer RNAs, miRNAs, RNA-binding proteins, RNA editing and RNA methylation, can also be retrieved. Furthermore, a regulatory network could be generated based on the regulatory information. In summary, CirGRDB offers a useful repository for exploring disease-related circadian RNAs, and deciphering the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of circadian rhythms.
