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

Structural biology offers a window into the functionality of molecular machines in health and disease. A fundamental challenge lies in capturing both the high-resolution structural details and dynamic changes that are essential for function. The high-resolution methods of X-ray crystallography and electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) are mainly used to study ensembles of static conformations but can also capture crucial dynamic transition states. Here, we review the latest strategies and advancements in time-resolved structural biology with a focus on capturing dynamic changes. We describe recent technology developments for time-resolved sample preparation and delivery in the cryo-EM and X-ray fields and explore how these technologies could mutually benefit each other to advance our understanding of biology at the molecular and atomic scales.
