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

Circadian misalignment of the feeding behavior and the terrestrial cycle is associated with obesity and metabolic perturbations. However, it remains unclear whether the quantity and timing of dietary salt intake influence temporal sodium handling and blood pressure regulation. Here, we demonstrate that the colonic mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and peripheral clock affect the daily sodium absorption and blood pressure variations. Genes related to sodium handling display diurnal rhythms in synchrony with the daily rhythms of aldosterone and the colonic circadian clock. Cistromic analysis substantiated the overlap of occupancy between the MR and brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1). Diurnal oscillation of aldosterone and peripheral clocks, as well as blood pressure, was robustly driven by nighttime feeding of a low-salt diet but markedly disrupted by daytime feeding of a high-salt diet in nocturnal mice. These findings delineate the colonic temporal sensing of dietary sodium abundance and highlight the transcriptional mechanisms of daily salt handling and blood pressure variations.
