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 tomography is a powerful tool for structure determination in the native environment. However, this method requires the acquisition of tilt series, which is time-consuming and severely slows structure determination. By treating the densities of non-target protein as non-Gaussian noise, we developed a new target function that greatly improves the efficiency of recognizing the target protein in a single cryo-electron microscopy image. Moreover, we developed a sorting function that effectively eliminates the model dependence and improved the resolution during the subsequent structure refinement procedure. By eliminating model bias, our method allows using homolog proteins as models to recognize the target proteins in a complex context. Together, we developed an
