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-imaging in cellular biology provides the means to visualize the cellular interior at close-to-native conditions. A cornerstone in the field has been cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM), with cryo-visible light fluorescent microscopy (cryo-VLFM) providing the specificity by tagging macromolecules or structures and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) for the structural details at molecular level. The large resolution gap between these techniques, however, is limiting this correlative workflow as cryo-ET targets are often smaller than the resolution limit of cryo-VLFM. Here we introduce cryo-soft X-ray tomography (cryo-SXT) as an intermediate step that can compensate for the partial view caused by the lost cellular material due to FIB-milling and limited resolution of cryo-VLFM by providing invaluable cellular context information in 3D to the cryo-ET dataset within an integrated workflow. This work shows that X-ray and electron imaging are not mutually exclusive, creating opportunities for further correlative imaging strategies.
