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 DIALS package provides a set of tools for crystallographic data processing. The open-source nature of the project, and a flexible interface in which individual command-line programs each have a dedicated job, have enabled the adaptation of DIALS to a wide range of experiment types, including electron diffraction. Here we present detailed instructions for the use of DIALS to process chemical crystallography diffraction data from continuous rotation electron diffraction experiments. We demonstrate processing and structure solution from three different samples from three different instruments, including two commercial instruments dedicated to electron diffraction. Each instrument has a pixel array detector, allowing low-noise data to be obtained, resulting in high quality structures. Various new features were added to DIALS to simplify the workflow for these use cases. These are described in detail, along with useful program options for electron diffraction work.
