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

PyMOL commands are used to exert exquisite control over the appearance of a molecular model. This control has made PyMOL popular for making images of protein structures for publications and presentations. However, many users have poor recall of the commands due to infrequent use of PyMOL. This poor recall hinders the writing of new code in scripts. One solution is to build the new script by using code fragments as templates for modular parts of the task at hand. The code fragments can be accessed from a library while writing the code from inside a text editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Vim, and Emacs). We developed a library of PyMOL code templates or snippets called pymolsnips to ease the writing of PyMOL code in scripts. We made pymolsnips available on GitHub in formats for 18 popular text editors. Most of the supported text editors are available for Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. The GitHub site includes animations that complement the instructions for installing the library for each text editor. We expect that the library will help many PyMOL users to be more productive when writing PyMOL script files.
