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 microscopy (cryo-EM) has become the mainstream technique for studying macromolecular structures. Determining the structures of protein complexes is more accessible to structural biologists than ever before. Nevertheless, obtaining high-resolution structures of molecular motors like dynein is still an extremely challenging goal due to their troublesome behaviors in ice, their exceedingly flexible conformations, and their intricate architectures. Dynein is a large molecular machine that drives the movement of many essential cellular cargos and is also the key force generator that powers ciliary motility. High-resolution structural information of dyneins in different states is critical for the in-depth mechanistic understanding of their roles in cells. Here, we summarize the cryo-EM approaches that we have used to study the structures of outer-arm dynein arrays bound to microtubule doublets. Our approaches can be applied to other similar structures and further optimized to deal with even more complicated targets.
