A joint method for marker-free alignment of tilt series in electron tomography.

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.
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
motivationElectron tomography (ET) is a widely used technology for 3D macro-molecular structure reconstruction. To obtain a satisfiable tomogram reconstruction, several key processes are involved, one of which is the calibration of projection parameters of the tilt series. Although fiducial marker-based alignment for tilt series has been well studied, marker-free alignment remains a challenge, which requires identifying and tracking the identical objects (landmarks) through different projections. However, the tracking of these landmarks is usually affected by the pixel density (intensity) change caused by the geometry difference in different views. The tracked landmarks will be used to determine the projection parameters. Meanwhile, different projection parameters will also affect the localization of landmarks. Currently, there is no alignment method that takes interrelationship between the projection parameters and the landmarks.
resultsHere, we propose a novel, joint method for marker-free alignment of tilt series in ET, by utilizing the information underlying the interrelationship between the projection model and the landmarks. The proposed method is the first joint solution that combines the extrinsic (track-based) alignment and the intrinsic (intensity-based) alignment, in which the localization of landmarks and projection parameters keep refining each other until convergence. This iterative approach makes our solution robust to different initial parameters and extreme geometric changes, which ensures a better reconstruction for marker-free ET. Comprehensive experimental results on three real datasets show that our new method achieved a significant improvement in alignment accuracy and reconstruction quality, compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
