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

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has enjoyed explosive recent growth due to revolutionary advances in hardware and software, resulting in a steady stream of long-awaited, high-resolution structures with unprecedented atomic detail. With this comes an increased number of microscopes, cryo-EM facilities, and scientists eager to leverage the ability to determine protein structures without crystallization. However, numerous pitfalls and considerations beset the path toward high-resolution structures and are not necessarily obvious from literature surveys. Here, we detail the most common misconceptions when initiating a cryo-EM project and common technical hurdles, as well as their solutions, and we conclude with a vision for the future of this exciting field.
