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

Chronotype describes an individual's day or night preference and is thought to exert health effects through circadian timing, yet continuous circadian measures related to chronotype have never been examined in large human cohorts. We sought to quantify wearable-derived heart rate phase (HRP) as an indicator of chronotype-relevant circadian shifts and determine its associations with human disease. Heart rate was aggregated over 5 min intervals in All of Us participants with wearable data and fit to a sine curve with 24 h period to determine HRP. Associations between HRP and circadian genomic variants were determined by linear regression. A phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) was performed by multiple logistic regression. One-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed by two-stage residual inclusion. Average HRP was 9.48 ± 1.57 h (n = 15,960). PheWAS identified phenome-wide associations of later HRP with addiction, mood, sleep and metabolic disorders, while certain conditions of pregnancy were associated with earlier HRP. In focused analyses of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), later HRP was associated with increased T2DM risk [odds ratio (OR) 1.09 [1.06,1.13], P = 1.58 × 10
