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 clocks allow organisms to synchronize their physiological processes to diurnal variations. A phase response curve allows researchers to understand clock entrainment by revealing how signals adjust clock genes differently according to the phase in which they are applied. Comprehensively investigating these curves is difficult, however, because of the cost of measuring them experimentally. Here we demonstrate that fundamental properties of the curve are recoverable from the singularity response, which is easily measured by applying a single stimulus to a cellular network in a desynchronized state (i.e. singularity). We show that the singularity response of Arabidopsis to light/dark and temperature stimuli depends on the properties of the phase response curve for these stimuli. The measured singularity responses not only allow the curves to be precisely reconstructed but also reveal organ-specific properties of the plant circadian clock. The method is not only simple and accurate, but also general and applicable to other coupled oscillator systems as long as the oscillators can be desynchronized. This simplified method may allow the entrainment properties of the circadian clock of both plants and other species in nature.
