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

Light shifts and synchronizes the phase of the circadian clock to daily environments, which is critical for maintaining the daily activities of an organism. It has been proposed that such light-dependent phase shifts are triggered by light-induced upregulation of a negative element of the core circadian clock (i.e., frq, Per1/2) in many organisms, including fungi. However, we find, using systematic mathematical modeling of the Neurospora crassa circadian clock, that the upregulation of the frq gene expression alone is unable to reproduce the observed light-dependent phase responses. Indeed, we find that the depression of the transcriptional activator white-collar-1, previously shown to be promoted by FRQ and VVD, is a key molecular mechanism for accurately simulating light-induced phase response curves for wild-type and mutant strains of Neurospora. Our findings elucidate specific molecular pathways that can be utilized to control phase resetting of circadian rhythms.
