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 are genetically encoded molecular clocks for internal biological timekeeping. Organisms from single-cell bacteria to humans use these clocks to adapt to the external environment and synchronize their physiology and behavior to solar light/dark cycles. Although the proteins that constitute the molecular 'cogs' and give rise to circadian rhythms are now known, we still lack a detailed understanding of how these proteins interact to generate and sustain the ∼24-hour circadian clock. Structural studies have helped to expand the architecture of clock proteins and have revealed the abundance of the only well-defined structured regions in the mammalian clock called Per-ARNT-Sim (PAS) domains. PAS domains are modular, evolutionarily conserved sensory and signaling domains that typically mediate protein-protein interactions. In the mammalian circadian clock, PAS domains modulate homo and heterodimerization of several core clock proteins that assemble into transcription factors or repressors. This review will focus on the functional importance of the PAS domains in the circadian clock from a biophysical and biochemical standpoint and describe their roles in clock protein interactions and circadian timekeeping.
