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

Membrane fusion--a basic cellular process enabling crucial cellular functions such as membrane trafficking--is mechanistically only partially understood. Most of the existing knowledge has come from studying host-cell entry of viruses with lipid bilayer envelopes, which proceeds through fusion of viral and host-cell membranes.Crystal structures for a number of viral fusion proteins facilitating this process have contributed substantially to our understanding. One of the next challenges is to merge these high-resolution structures of soluble parts of fusion effectors with native structural information on the proteins in the course of their functional interactions with the target membranes. In this issue of The EMBO Journal,Lee (2010) presents an elegant example of such a study,probing the early interaction of the influenza virus with liposomes by cryo-electron tomography (cryoET).
