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 function in multicellular organisms arises from coordinated interactions amongst diverse cellular tissue populations. Existing approaches for long-term imaging of within-tissue circadian regulation remain low-throughput, highly specialized, and largely inaccessible. Here, we developed ClockCyte, a high-content fluorescent live-imaging platform that enables continuous monitoring of circadian rhythms in up to 144 brain tissue samples. Using the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus as a model, ClockCyte captures the differential circadian tissue regulation of neurons and astrocytes. We further identified a previously uncharacterized oscillatory circadian compartment in axonal calcium, showing highly homogeneous activity, opposed to waves of intracellular neuronal calcium. By deleting Bmal1 in neurons, we reveal the network underpinnings connecting clock gene expression to network-wide axonal regulation. The discovery of distinct circadian properties of axonal calcium and their disruption by Bmal1 ablation highlights the potential to reveal new principles of intra-tissue network-level circadian organization. More broadly, this approach will enable systematic explorations of how cell-type-specific and compartmentalized subcellular rhythms contribute to brain physiology.
