Noise facilitates entrainment of a population of uncoupled limit cycle oscillators.
Article in Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Many biological oscillators share two properties: they are subject to stochastic fluctuations (noise) and they must reliably adjust their period to changing environmental conditions (entrainment). While noise seems to distort the ability of single oscillators to entrain, in populations of uncoupled oscillators noise allows population-level entrainment for a wider range of input amplitudes and periods. Here, we investigate how this effect depends on the noise intensity and the number of oscillators in the population. We have found that, if a population consists of a sufficient number of oscillators, increasing noise intensity leads to faster entrainment after a phase change of the input signal (jet lag) and increases sensitivity to low-amplitude input signals.
