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

The circadian clock of plants contributes to their survival and fitness. However, understanding clock function at the transcriptome level and its response to the environment requires assaying across high resolution time-course experiments. Generating these datasets is labour-intensive, costly and, in most cases, performed under tightly controlled laboratory conditions. To overcome these barriers, we have developed ChronoGauge: an ensemble model that can reliably estimate the endogenous circadian time of Arabidopsis plants using the expression of a handful of time-indicating genes within a single time-pointed transcriptomic sample. ChronoGauge can predict a plant's circadian time with high accuracy across unseen Arabidopsis bulk RNA-seq and microarray samples, and can be further applied to make non-random predictions across samples in non-model species, including field samples. Finally, we demonstrate how ChronoGauge can be applied to generate hypotheses regarding the response of the circadian transcriptome to specific genotypes or environmental conditions.
