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

Serial crystallography (SX) is a powerful method for determining macromolecular structures, enabled by the advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). SX experiments require the continuous delivery of microcrystals, achievable through liquid jets, high-viscosity extrusion (HVE) jets, and fixed-target methods. The lipid cubic phase (LCP) is a lipid-based medium commonly used for membrane protein crystallization and as a carrier medium for HVE injection. In this study, we present a rheometric characterization of LCP media and demonstrate that sample viscosity correlates well with the injection stability and, therefore, can effectively predict sample stability during HVE jetting. Using this approach, we determined the viscosity range corresponding to the stable, metastable, and unstable jetting regions. The critical viscosity values for the metastable and unstable jetting regions are 7 × 10
