Ultrafast x-ray and electron scattering of free molecules: A comparative evaluation.
Article in Structural dynamics (Melville, N.Y.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Resolving gas phase molecular motions with simultaneous spatial and temporal resolution is rapidly coming within the reach of x-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) and Mega-electron-Volt (MeV) electron beams. These two methods enable scattering experiments that have yielded fascinating new results, and while both are important methods for determining transient molecular structures in photochemical reactions, it is important to understand their relative merits. In the present study, we evaluate the respective scattering cross sections of the two methods and simulate their ability to determine excited state molecular structures in light of currently existing XFEL and MeV source parameters. Using the example of optically excited N-methyl morpholine and simulating the scattering patterns with shot noise, we find that the currently achievable signals are superior with x-ray scattering for equal samples and on a per-shot basis and that x-ray scattering requires fewer detected signal counts for an equal fidelity structure determination. Importantly, within the independent atom model, excellent structure determinations can be achieved for scattering vectors only to about 5 Å
