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

Quantitative data analysis is important for any single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) workflow to extract biological insights from the coordinates of the single fluorophores. However, current approaches are restricted to simple geometries or require identical structures. Here, we present LocMoFit (Localization Model Fit), an open-source framework to fit an arbitrary model to localization coordinates. It extracts meaningful parameters from individual structures and can select the most suitable model. In addition to analyzing complex, heterogeneous and dynamic structures for in situ structural biology, we demonstrate how LocMoFit can assemble multi-protein distribution maps of six nuclear pore components, calculate single-particle averages without any assumption about geometry or symmetry, and perform a time-resolved reconstruction of the highly dynamic endocytic process from static snapshots. We provide extensive simulation and visualization routines to validate the robustness of LocMoFit and tutorials to enable any user to increase the information content they can extract from their SMLM data.
