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

Over the course of a day, the circadian clock promotes a homeostatic balance between energy intake and energy expenditure by aligning metabolism with nutrient availability. In mammals, this process is driven by central clocks in the brain that control feeding behavior, the peripheral nervous system, and humoral outputs, as well as by peripheral clocks in non-brain tissues that regulate gene expression locally. Circadian organization of metabolism is critical, as circadian disruption is associated with increased risk of metabolic disease. Emerging evidence shows that circadian metabolism hinges upon inter-organ cross talk involving the liver, a metabolic hub that integrates many facets of systemic energy homeostasis. Here, we review spatiotemporal interactions, mainly metabolite exchange, signaling factors, and hormonal control, between the liver and skeletal muscle, pancreas, gut, microbiome, and adipose tissue. Modern society presents the challenge of circadian disturbances from rotating shift work to social jet lag and 24/7 food availability. Thus, it is important to better understand the mechanisms by which the clock system controls metabolic homeostasis and work toward targeted therapies.
