Timing and Amplitude of Light Exposure, Not Photoperiod, Predict Blood Lipids in Arctic Residents: A Circadian Light Hypothesis.
Article in Biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In Arctic residents, blood lipids fluctuate seasonally in response to changes in light exposure (LE) patterns. This study investigates which aspects of LE (timing, dynamic range, and duration) are related to lipid profiles. We analyzed actigraphy data measuring LE and blue light exposure (BLE) along with blood determinations from 27 residents across different seasons. We assessed circadian parameters of melatonin in a subset of participants. We found that features of BLE and melatonin significantly predicted lipids: An earlier BLE acrophase was associated with higher HDL-C (β = -0.246,
