Toward dissection of diverse neural components in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) pacemaker network.
Article in Neurobiology of sleep and circadian rhythms, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a central clock in the hypothalamus of mammals, consists of heterogeneous populations of neurons. The SCN expresses various neurotransmitters/neuropeptides and hundreds of other genes as detected by cell census studies including transcriptomics. Nonetheless, the SCN can sustain a precise ∼24 h rhythm and acts as a central pacemaker to control daily rhythms of behavior and physiological processes throughout a lifespan. How does the SCN achieve this regularity in a network of ∼20,000 diverse cellular identities? Are there unique roles in individual SCN neurons or in subsets of SCN neurons? How are they classified, connected to sustain synchrony, and entrained to external light-dark cycles at the level of cell types? Only recently, the functional significance of individual oscillators in the SCN is beginning to be uncovered through the development and advancement of neurotechniques to target specific cell types for genetic manipulation and imaging. This review will summarize recent conditional knockout studies, focusing particularly on genetic drivers utilized in various experimental approaches. We will also discuss what questions lie ahead to disentangle the complexity of cellular components in the central pacemaker network.
