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

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is linked to negative behavioural and physiological consequences in animals. A potential mechanism for these adverse effects is artificial light at night's inhibition of melatonin synthesis, a zeitgeber for cellular processes and a powerful antioxidant. Accordingly, melatonin supplementation can ameliorate artificial light at night-linked pathologies. Most studies expose animals to artificial light at night across their whole lifespan or a single life stage, but many nocturnal species experience variable exposure across heterogeneously lit landscapes. We investigated the effects of artificial light at night during both early- and late-juvenile development on adult reproduction in the Pacific field cricket
