High-throughput cryo-electron tomography enables multiscale visualization of the inner life of microbes.
Review in Current opinion in structural biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is an advanced and rapidly evolving imaging technique that enables three-dimensional visualization of biological structures in their native state. Although cryo-ET has historically faced significant challenges, including limited applications, tedious data acquisition, labor-intensive image processing, and lower resolution when compared with single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), recent breakthroughs in hardware and software development have significantly improved the entire cryo-ET workflow to enable higher throughput and resolution. These advances have accelerated discoveries in structural and cellular biology, particularly in microbiology, where cryo-ET has unveiled unprecedented insights into the inner life of microbes. This review presents pivotal advances propelling high-throughput cryo-ET and the visualization of microbial architecture. As innovations in imaging technologies, workflow automation, and computational methods continue progressing rapidly, cryo-ET is expected to be increasingly utilized across various fields of life sciences, shaping the future of biological research and biomedical discoveries.
