Circadian temperature compensation is intrinsically linked with metabolism and redox signaling.
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
Circadian rhythms are a universal property of organisms, and a defining property of these oscillators is the ability to maintain a precise period at different temperatures. Indeed, the discovery in the 1950s of this property, known as "temperature compensation," was a watershed event in our understanding of biological timekeeping. Since that time, however, almost no general principles have emerged that uncover the mechanistic basis of how circadian timekeepers defy the "rules" of temperature dependence of biochemical reactions. A genetic investigation of circadian temperature compensation reveals that the sensing of metabolism and ensuing modulation of the core mechanism preserves a constant circadian period. Intracellular redox sensing of metabolic rate is intrinsic to this compensation, and this relationship is conserved in bacterial and mammalian cells. These insights explain previously inexplicable observations of the interaction between redox reactions and circadian timekeeping. These results introduce a previously unknown linkage between temperature compensation and metabolism.
