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

We discuss and present approaches for generating artificial crystal structures for training neural networks to solve the phase problem. Structure generation is considered as a two-step process involving sampling unit-cell parameters and filling the unit cell with atoms. The former step includes generating lattice basis vectors from randomly sampled unit-cell volume. Apart from randomly placing atoms, we use database data to guide fast and scalable generation of molecule-like fragments. The recently developed neural network PhAI is then used as a benchmark and retrained with various sets of training data to assess how the corresponding models perform on experimental crystal structure data. We found a significant improvement in PhAI retrained on a new kind of artificial data to generalize the phase problem solution for larger unit-cell structures.
