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

Crystallographic maps are typically computed as Fourier series using complex-valued structure factors, with a single set of coefficients applied across the entire region and associating a single resolution value with the whole map. In cryo-electron microscopy, however, experimental maps often have variable local resolution. As a consequence, applying the same procedure to compute model maps for comparison with the respective experimental ones becomes complicated. An alternative strategy involves representing model maps as sums of atomic images. They are oscillatory functions of the distance from the atomic center and depend on atomic displacement parameters and local resolution. To calculate such maps, we propose a stand-alone program which uses the shell-function approximation of atomic images, making them analytic functions of all their parameters including the local resolution associated with each atom.
