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 analysis involves the selection of macromolecular complexes to be used for subsequent sub-tomogram averaging and structure determination. Here, we describe a plugin developed for UCSF ChimeraX that allows for the display, selection, and editing of particles within tomograms. Positions and orientations of selected particles can be manually set, modified and inspected in real time, both on screen and in virtual reality, and exported to various file formats. The plugin allows for the parallel visualization of particles stored in several meta data lists, in the context of any three-dimensional image that can be opened with UCSF ChimeraX. The particles are rendered in user-defined colors or using colormaps, such that individual classes or groups of particles, cross-correlation coefficients, or other types of information can be highlighted to the user. The implemented functions are fast, reliable, and intuitive, exploring the broad range of features in UCSF ChimeraX. They allow for a fluent human-machine interaction, which enables an effective understanding of the sub-tomogram processing pipeline, even for non-specialist users.
