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

The dramatic growth in the use of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to generate high-resolution structures of macromolecular complexes has changed the landscape of structural biology. The majority of structures deposited in the Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB) at higher than 4-Å resolution were collected on Titan Krios microscopes. Although the pipeline for single-particle data collection is becoming routine, there is much variation in how sessions are set up. Furthermore, when collection is under way, there are a range of approaches for efficiently moving and pre-processing these data. Here, we present a standard operating procedure for single-particle data collection with Thermo Fisher Scientific EPU software, using the two most common direct electron detectors (the Thermo Fisher Scientific Falcon 3 (F3EC) and the Gatan K2), as well as a strategy for structuring these data to enable efficient pre-processing and on-the-fly monitoring of data collection. This protocol takes 3-6 h to set up a typical automated data collection session.
