Circadian rhythms: pervasive, and often times evasive.
Review in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Most circadian texts begin by stating that clocks are pervasive throughout the tree of life. Indeed, clock mechanisms have been described from cyanobacteria to humans, representing a notable example of convergent evolution: yet, there are several phyla in animals, protists or within fungi and bacteria, in which homologs of some-or all-known clock components seem to be absent, posing inevitable questions about the evolution of circadian systems. Moreover, as we move away from model organisms, there are several taxa in which core clock elements can be identified at the genomic levels. However, the functional description of those putative clocks has been hard to achieve, as rhythmicity is not observed unless defined abiotic or nutritional cues are provided. The mechanisms 'conditioning' the functionality of clocks remain uncertain, emphasizing the need to delve further into non-model circadian systems. As the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, the lack of known core-clock homologs or of observable rhythms in a given organism, cannot be an
