Comparison of the Effects of Inappropriate Meal Timing-Induced and Genetic Models of Circadian Clock Disruption on Uterine mRNA Expression Profiles.

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
backgroundAccumulating evidence reveals that inappropriate meal timing contributes to the development of lifestyle-related diseases. An underlying mechanism is thought to be the disruption of the intracellular circadian clock in various tissues based on observations in both systemic and tissue-specific clock gene-deficient mice. However, whether the effects of conditional clock gene knockout are comparable to those of inappropriate meal timing remains unclear.
objectivesThis study aimed to compare the effects of a recently developed 28-h feeding cycle model with those of a core clock gene Bmal1 uterine conditional knockout (Bmal1 cKO) model on uterine mRNA expression profiles.
methodsThe models were generated by subjecting C57BL/6J mice to an 8-h/20-h feeding/fasting cycle for 2 wk and crossing Bmal1-floxed mice with PR-Cre mice. Microarray analyses were conducted using uterine samples obtained at the beginning of the dark and light periods.
resultsThe analyses identified 516 and 346, significantly 4-fold and 2-fold, up- or downregulated genes in the 28-h feeding cycle and Bmal1 cKO groups, respectively, compared with each control group. Among these genes, only 7 (1.4%) and 63 (18.2%) were significantly up- or downregulated in the other model. Moreover, most (n = 44, 62.9%) of these genes were oppositely regulated. These findings were confirmed by gene set enrichment analyses.
conclusionsThis study reveals that a 28-h feeding cycle and Bmal1 cKO differently affect gene expression profiles and highlights the need for considering this difference to assess the pathophysiology of diseases associated with inappropriate meal timing.
