The Bacillus subtilis circadian clock coordinates intricate spatiotemporal organisation.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Many organisms have circadian clocks that anticipate the risks and benefits of the predictable 24 h solar cycle. However, the potential functions of circadian clocks in non-photosynthetic bacteria are poorly understood. Here, we show that the Bacillus subtilis circadian clock regulates colony expansion, in concert with key developmental and differentiation pathways that are central to its life cycle. The B. subtilis clock coordinates the spatiotemporal organisation of gene expression within expanding colonies by timing various processes to specific phases (times of day) within distinct colony regions. Our results support the idea that circadian clock-regulation over space, time and colony development in B. subtilis is analogous to circadian regulation of some processes in multicellular eukaryotes such as plants and mammals.
