TANGO: Analysis and curation of particles in cryo-electron tomography.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 (cryo-ET) enables the visualization of cellular structures in near-native environments, but its potential for spatial analysis has been underutilized due to a lack of versatile tools accommodating biological sample diversity. Available solutions often rely on case-specific or hypothesis-driven approaches, while holistic analyses remain challenging. In this work, we introduce TANGO (Twist-Aware Neighborhoods for Geometric Organization), a framework leveraging point cloud descriptors to analyze spatial arrangements of particles, such as macromolecular complexes, in cryo-ET. By encoding relative positions and orientations of particles as twist vectors, TANGO enables rotationally invariant feature extraction, including structured neighborhood occupancy, lattice topology, or angular deviations. Its modular design and user-friendly interface allow for customization of features, facilitating exploratory analyses of spatial patterns in diverse experimental datasets. With its open-source Python implementation, TANGO advances the ability to decode complex cellular architectures and their functional relationships, offering a particle data analysis tool for the cryo-ET community.
