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

Dysregulation of the serotonergic system is consistently noted in cases of psychiatric pathology. Circadian rhythm dysregulation is also a common comorbidity in psychiatric populations, and the circadian and serotonergic systems have a long history of coregulation. Despite this, it is not yet known whether serotonergic neurons house circadian molecular clocks, the transcription and translation feedback loops that drive circadian rhythms at the cellular level. To investigate this, brain tissue was extracted from adult male rats every 4 h throughout the light-dark cycle. Radiolabeled in situ hybridization was used to quantify clock gene expression in the dorsal and median raphe, the two nuclei responsible for providing the majority of serotonin to the brain. We discovered oscillatory rhythms in the expression of clock genes
