Non-visual opsins and their role in circadian photoentrainment.
Review in Eye and vision (London, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Photoreception is common in animals without a visual system. In animals with visual systems, it is sometimes presumed that the same photoreceptors and pathways will accommodate both visual and non-visual light detection. However, mounting evidence reveals that most animals exhibit broad extra-visual photoreceptive functions that are wholly independent of the visual system. One of these functions is the synchronization of the circadian clock to light-dark signals, or photoentrainment. In mammals, behavioral photoentrainment is achieved exclusively through visual and non-visual opsin proteins within the retina, and molecular photoentrainment of individual cells occurs using non-visual opsins in some peripheral tissues. This is in contrast to insects and fish where nearly all peripheral organs are directly photoentrainable. This review will summarize the family of opsins in mammals and focus on the role of non-visual opsins in circadian photoreception. Particular emphasis will be given to photoentrainment in other vertebrates in order to compare and contrast the use of the wide range of non-visual opsins in circadian photoentrainment throughout the animal kingdom.
