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 preferred orientation phenomenon is a common issue in cryo-EM, posing a persistent challenge to conventional reconstruction methods. In this study, we introduce cryoPROS, a computational framework designed to correct misalignment caused by preferred orientation through co-refining the raw and auxiliary particles. These auxiliary particles, generated using a self-supervised deep generative model, enhance the alignment accuracy of particles in datasets affected by preferred orientation. CryoPROS achieved near-atomic resolution with the untilted HA-trimer dataset and successfully resolved high-resolution structures from three experimental datasets, including P001-Y, Na
