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

Analysis of circadian rhythm behavior alteration in fish for toxicity assessment usually requires expensive commercial equipment and laborious and complicated tweaking. Here, we report a simple setup that consists of a custom-made light box equipped with white and 940 nm light-emitting diode (LED) light strips as light sources, where the locomotion activities of zebrafish or catfish are captured using an infrared-sensitive coupled charged device (CCD). The whole setup was housed in a temperature-controlled incubator to isolate external noise and to maintain consistent experimental conditions. The video recording and light triggering were synchronized using Total Recorder, a recording scheduling software. By using the setup mentioned above and open source software such as ImageJ or idTracker, the locomotion activities of diurnal (e.g. zebrafish) and nocturnal (e.g. catfish) fish during day and night cycles can be quantitatively analyzed. We used simple image-based methods and a cost-effective instrument to assess the circadian rhythm of multiple fish species, as well as other parameters such as age, ambient temperature and chemical toxicology with high precision and reproducibility. In conclusion, the instrument setting and analysis methods established in this study provide a reliable and easy entry point for toxicity assessment on circadian rhythm dysregulation in fish.
