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

Both parasite manipulation of host behavior and the roles of circadian clocks in infectious disease are not well understood. However, studies into parasite-manipulated insects suggest that host rhythms are altered at different levels of biological organization. Here, we discuss this hypothesis in the context of circadian plasticity. We argue that striking overlap between manipulation mechanisms and plastic functioning of the insect clock exists across independently evolved parasite-host systems. As such, investigating parasitic behavioral manipulation provides an opportunity to better understand circadian plasticity and how infection and clocks intersect across taxa.
