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

Noncrystallographic symmetry (NCS) averaging following molecular-replacement phasing is generally the major technique used to solve a structure with several molecules in one asymmetric unit, such as a spherical icosahedral viral particle. As an alternative method to NCS averaging, a new approach to optimize or to refine the electron density directly under NCS constraints is proposed. This method has the same effect as the conventional NCS-averaging method but does not include the process of Fourier synthesis to generate the electron density from amplitudes and the corresponding phases. It has great merit for the solution of structures with limited data that are either twinned or incomplete at low resolution. This method was applied to the case of the T = 1 shell-domain subviral particle of Penaeus vannamei nodavirus with data affected by twinning using the REFMAC5 refinement software.
