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

Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) in association with a single particle analysis method (SPA) is now a promising tool to determine the structures of proteins and their macromolecular complexes. The development of direct electron detection cameras and image processing technologies has allowed the structures of many important proteins to be solved at near-atomic resolution or, in some cases, at atomic resolution, by overcoming difficulties in crystallization or low yield of protein production. In the case of membrane-integrated proteins, the proteins were traditionally solubilized and stabilized with various kind of detergents. However, the density of detergent micelles diminished the contrast of membrane proteins in cryo-EM studies and made it difficult to obtain high-resolution structures. To improve the resolution of membrane protein structures in cryo-EM studies, major improvements have been made both in sample preparation techniques and in hardware and software developments. The focus of our review is on improvements which have been made in the various techniques for sample preparation for cryo-EM studies, with a specific interest placed on techniques for mimicking the lipid environment of membrane proteins.
