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 human cell is a precisely regulated system that relies on the complex interaction of molecules. Structural insights into the cellular machinery at the atomic level allow us to understand the underlying regulatory mechanism and provide us with a roadmap for the development of novel drugs to fight diseases. Facilitated by recent technological breakthroughs, the Nobel prize-winning technique electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) has become a versatile and extremely powerful tool to solve routinely near-atomic resolution three-dimensional protein structures. Consequently, it has become the focus of attention for structure-based drug design. In this review, we describe the basics of cryo-EM and highlight its growing role in biomedical research. Furthermore, we discuss latest developments as well as future perspectives.
