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

Single-particle cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), whose full capabilities have been realized only within the past decade, has had a pivotal role in the fight against COVID-19. This is due to the technique's intrinsic power to depict both structural and dynamic features of molecules; in this case, of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. By now, numerous cryo-EM studies have furthered our understanding of spike protein-angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor interactions, which has informed the design of effective vaccines, and have enabled the characterization of neutralizing antibody binding sites, which will lead to the design of novel therapeutics as the virus evolves.
