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

Electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM) is used to determine structures of biological molecules, including multi-protein complexes. Maps at better than 3.0Å resolution are relatively straightforward to interpret since atomic models of proteins and nucleic acids can be built directly. Still, these resolutions are often difficult to achieve, and map quality frequently varies within a structure. This results in data that are challenging to interpret, especially when crystal structures or suitable homology models are not available. Recent advances in mass spectrometry techniques, computational methods and model building tools facilitate subunit/domain fitting into maps, elucidation of protein contacts, and de novo generation of atomic models. Here, we review techniques for map interpretation and provide examples from recent studies of multi-protein complexes.
