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

Recent advances in hardware, software and computing power have led to increasingly ambitious applications of cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging. It is now possible to reveal both structures and biophysical relationships like protein binding partners and small molecule occupancy in these experiments. However, some data processing choices require the user to prioritize structure or biophysical context. Here, we present a modified subtomogram averaging approach that preserves both capabilities. By increasing the accuracy of particle-picking, performing alignment and averaging on all subtomograms, and decreasing reliance on symmetry and tight masks, the usability of tomography and subtomogram averaging data for biophysical analyses is greatly increased without negatively impacting structural refinements.
