A large-scale curated and filterable dataset for cryo-EM foundation model pre-training.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 microscopy (cryo-EM) is a transformative imaging technology that enables near-atomic resolution 3D reconstruction of target biomolecule, playing a critical role in structural biology and drug discovery. Cryo-EM faces significant challenges due to its extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) where the complexity of data processing becomes particularly pronounced. To address this challenge, foundation models have shown great potential in other biological imaging domains. However, their application in cryo-EM has been limited by the lack of large-scale, high-quality datasets. To fill this gap, we introduce CryoCRAB, the first large-scale dataset for cryo-EM foundation models. CryoCRAB includes 746 proteins, comprising 152,385 sets of raw movie frames (116.8 TB in total). To tackle the high-noise nature of cryo-EM data, each movie is split into odd and even frames to generate paired micrographs for denoising tasks. The dataset is stored in HDF5 chunked format, significantly improving random sampling efficiency and training speed. CryoCRAB offers diverse data support for cryo-EM foundation models, enabling advancements in image denoising and general-purpose feature extraction for downstream tasks.
