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

Motivation: Dual-axis electron tomography is an important 3 D macro-molecular structure reconstruction technology, which can reduce artifacts and suppress the effect of missing wedge. However, the fully automatic data process for dual-axis electron tomography still remains a challenge due to three difficulties: (i) how to track the mass of fiducial markers automatically; (ii) how to integrate the information from the two different tilt series; and (iii) how to cope with the inconsistency between the two different tilt series. Results: Here we develop a toolkit for fully automatic alignment of dual-axis electron tomography, with a simultaneous reconstruction procedure. The proposed toolkit and its workflow carries out the following solutions: (i) fully automatic detection and tracking of fiducial markers under large-field datasets; (ii) automatic combination of two different tilt series and global calibration of projection parameters; and (iii) inconsistency correction based on distortion correction parameters and the consequently simultaneous reconstruction. With all of these features, the presented toolkit can achieve accurate alignment and reconstruction simultaneously and conveniently under a single global coordinate system. Availability and implementation: The toolkit AuTom-dualx (alignment module dualxmauto and reconstruction module volrec_mltm) are accessible for general application at http://ear.ict.ac.cn, and the key source code is freely available under request. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
