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

Single particle cryoelectron microscopy (cryoEM) and cryoelectron tomography (cryoET) are powerful methods for unveiling unique and functionally relevant structural states. Aided by mass spectrometry and machine learning, they promise to facilitate the visual exploration of proteomes. Leveraging visual proteomics, we interrogate structures isolated from a complex cellular milieu by cryoEM to identify and classify molecular structures and complexes de novo. By comparing three automated model building programs, CryoID, DeepTracer, and ModelAngelo, we determine the identity of six distinct oligomeric protein complexes from partially purified extracts of the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii using both anaerobic and aerobic cryoEM, including two original oligomeric structures. Overall, by allowing the study of near-native oligomeric protein states, cryoEM-enabled visual proteomics reveals unique structures that correspond to relevant species observed in situ.
