Dynamical scattering in ice-embedded proteins in conventional and scanning transmission electron microscopy.
Article in IUCrJ, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Structure determination of biological macromolecules using cryogenic electron microscopy is based on applying the phase object (PO) assumption and the weak phase object (WPO) approximation to reconstruct the 3D potential density of the molecule. To enhance the understanding of image formation of protein complexes embedded in glass-like ice in a transmission electron microscope, this study addresses multiple scattering in tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) specimens. This includes the propagation inside the molecule while also accounting for the effect of structural noise. The atoms in biological macromolecules are light but are distributed over several nanometres. Commonly, PO and WPO approximations are used in most simulations and reconstruction models. Therefore, dynamical multislice simulations of TMV specimens embedded in glass-like ice were performed based on fully atomistic molecular-dynamics simulations. In the first part, the impact of multiple scattering is studied using different numbers of slices. In the second part, different sample thicknesses of the ice-embedded TMV are considered in terms of additional ice layers. It is found that single-slice models yield full frequency transfer up to a resolution of 2.5 Å, followed by attenuation up to 1.4 Å. Three slices are sufficient to reach an information transfer up to 1.0 Å. In the third part, ptychographic reconstructions based on scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and single-slice models are compared with conventional TEM simulations. The ptychographic reconstructions do not need the deliberate introduction of aberrations, are capable of post-acquisition aberration correction and promise benefits for information transfer, especially at resolutions beyond 1.8 Å.
