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 present the practical curriculum of the graduate Chemical Crystallography course in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, outlining our favorite resources, texts, and software. The course relies on collaborative in-class student assignments that build up a knowledge base of fundamental crystallography and 37 hands-on structure solution and refinement exercises spanning structures of varying difficulty. Students begin solving and refining structures early in the course, following a 'do first, understand second' philosophy. The strong focus on data inter-pretation ensures that students gain the practical skills necessary for independent structural investigation and critical evaluation of the crystallographic literature.
