Designing and Evaluating Circadian Experiments on Mouse Skin.
Review in The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
All skin layers and cutaneous appendages harbor a robust circadian clock, whose phase is under the influence of light through the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The skin clock coordinates fundamental biological processes, including metabolism and stem cell activation. It also prominently modulates activity of skin-resident immune cells and the inflammatory response. Numerous diurnally regulated genes in the skin have been implicated in skin diseases in GWASs. Therefore, the mouse skin is a powerful model for understanding the diverse roles of circadian biology in maintaining tissue health and the initiation and propagation of disease states. When planning experiments to study the circadian biology of mouse skin, multiple technical and biological factors must be carefully considered. In this paper, we provide comprehensive guidance on the general circadian experimental design and associated housing for the mice. We highlight the importance of aligning sample collection with the desired hair cycle stage and animal age. We introduce methods to disrupt the clock in the skin, including altering light and feeding schedules as well as using transgenic mouse models. Finally, we discuss the use of transcriptomic data, both bulk and single cell, for circadian studies.
