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

A simple and rapid procedure is presented that enables evaluation and visualization of refinement efficiency for bio-macromolecular complexes consisting of two subunits in a given orientation by using small-angle scattering. Subunit orientations within a complex can be provided in practice by NMR residual dipolar couplings, an approach that has been combined with increasing success to complement small-angle data. The procedure is illustrated by applying it to several systems composed of two simple geometric bodies (ellipsoids) and to protein complexes from the protein data bank that vary in subunit size and anisometry. The effects of the experimental small-angle scattering range (Q-range) and data noise level on the refinement efficiency are investigated and discussed. The procedure can be used in two ways: (1) either as a quick preliminary test to probe the refinement capacity expected for a given bio-macromolecular complex prior to sophisticated and time-consuming experiments and data analysis, or (2) as an a posteriori check of the stability and accuracy of a refined model and for illustration of the residual degrees of freedom of the subunit positions that are in agreement with both small-angle data and restraints on subunit orientation (as provided, e.g., by NMR).
