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

Functional circadian clock is critical to the adaptation and survival of organisms. In land plants, the comprehensive profiling of circadian gene expression at the single-cell level is largely unknown partly due to the challenges in obtaining precisely-timed single cells embedded within cell walls. To bridge this gap, we employ time-lapse single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on Arabidopsis seedlings collected over a 48-hour window at 4-hour intervals, as well as over a 24-hour day at 2-hour intervals, yielding a total of over 77,142 and 130,000 nuclei. Here, we find that four cell clusters in the shoot share a coherent rhythm, while around 3000 genes display cell-type specific rhythmic expression. Our analysis indicates that genes encoding circadian regulators oscillate in multiple cell types, and the majority of them are well-documented core clock genes, suggesting the snRNA-seq circadian data could be used to identify more clock components oscillating in a cell-autonomous way. We identify ABF1 as a circadian regulator, whose overexpression and shortens the circadian period. Our data provides a comprehensive resource for plant circadian rhythmicity at the single-cell level (hosted at https://zhailab.bio.sustech.edu.cn/sc_circadian ).
