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

In macromolecular crystallography, mesh (raster) scans are carried out either as part of X-ray-based crystal-centring routines or to identify positions on the sample holder from which diffraction images can be collected. Here, the methods used in MeshBest, software which automatically analyses diffraction images collected during a mesh scan and produces a two-dimensional crystal map showing estimates of the dimensions, centre positions and diffraction qualities of each crystal contained in the mesh area, are presented. Sample regions producing diffraction images resulting from the superposition of more than one crystal are also distinguished from regions with single-crystal diffraction. The applicability of the method is demonstrated using several cases.
