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

Members of the family Reoviridae package several copies of the viral polymerase complex into their capsid to carry out replication and transcription within viral particles. Classical single-particle reconstruction encounters difficulties resolving structures such as the intraparticle polymerase complex because refinement can converge to an incorrect map and because the map could depict a nonrepresentative subset of particles or an average of heterogeneous particles. Using the nine-segmented Fako virus, we tested hypotheses for the arrangement and number of polymerase complexes within the virion by measuring how well each hypothesis describes the set of cryoelectron microscopy images of individual viral particles. We find that the polymerase complex in Fako virus binds at ten possible sites despite having only nine genome segments. A single asymmetric configuration describes the arrangement of these complexes in both virions and genome-free capsids. Similarities between the arrangements of Reoviridae with 9, 10, and 11 segments indicate the generalizability of this architecture.
