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

The relationship between the contrast to noise ratio and intensity based cross-correlation coefficients for both protein crystallography and X-ray imaging are compared. It is concluded that, for protein crystallography at near atomic resolution, the intensity based cross-correlation coefficients give a reasonable indication of the quality of the corresponding electron density. For X-ray imaging of biological materials such as cells and soft tissue, the wide range of contrast of the features means that intensity based correlation coefficients can give a poor indication of the interpretability of an image. Rather than the term resolution, it is the contrast to noise ratio for a feature of interest at the relevant spatial frequency that is more relevant. Additional metrics are required to describe the quality of an image, and these are discussed.
