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

Cryo-electron tomography is a powerful tool to visualize heterogeneous samples, with one major application being structural characterization of pleomorphic viruses. In recent years, subtomogram averaging of viral glycoproteins has emerged as a method to directly visualize these crucial proteins on the surface of intact virions. One important target is the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein of influenza virus, which densely covers the viral envelope and is responsible for influenza receptor binding and membrane fusion. While subtomogram averages of influenza HA have been reported, their resolutions have been limited due to the low signal-to-noise ratio inherent to cryoET as well as the manual effort required to analyze heterogenous influenza virions. Presented here is a cryoET analysis pipeline that integrates several software packages to analyze tomographic data of influenza virions efficiently and robustly. This protocol describes the structural determination of HA from influenza virions, through steps from initial motion correction to final model building. Following this pipeline, a HA reconstruction at 6.0 Å resolution was obtained from two cryoET datasets collected from the A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (PR8) influenza strain.
