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

A flat mask-based model is almost universally used in macromolecular crystallography to account for disordered (bulk) solvent. This model assumes any voxel of the crystal unit cell that is not occupied by the atomic model is occupied by the solvent. The properties of this solvent are assumed to be exactly the same across the whole volume of the unit cell. While this is a reasonable approximation in practice, there are a number of scenarios where this model becomes suboptimal. In this work, we enumerate several of these scenarios and describe a new generalized approach to modeling the bulk-solvent which we refer to as mosaic bulk-solvent model. The mosaic bulk-solvent model allows nonuniform features of the solvent in the crystal to be accounted for in a computationally efficient way. It is implemented in the computational crystallography toolbox and the Phenix software.
