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

Advances in electron microscopes, detectors and data processing algorithms have greatly facilitated the structural determination of many challenging integral membrane proteins that have been evasive to crystallization. These breakthroughs facilitate the application and development of various membrane protein solubilization approaches for structural studies, including reconstitution into lipid nanoparticles. In this review, we discuss various approaches for preparing transmembrane proteins for structural determination with single-particle electron cryo microscopy (cryoEM).
