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

The Global Phasing workflow derives and executes experimental strategies for macromolecular crystallography, optimized in real time for the crystal symmetry and mounting orientation and the expected experimental resolution. By acquiring sweeps at multiple orientations, the workflow averages out the differences in Lorentz intensity enhancement and multiplicity to produce equally weighted merged reflections for processing. Values for various classes of parameters can be read from configuration files, submitted diffraction plans or user interaction, with optimal transmission settings derived from the beam flux density and the intended experimental resolution. The program can be executed in user-driven or unattended mode. Strategies are available for native or phasing experiments in either basic or advanced versions. The workflow has been shown to improve resolution, the number of unique reflections measured and average I/σ compared with a single-sweep experiment on equivalent crystals with the same total radiation dose. The workflow is a standalone program that could be interfaced to any beamline-control system, and is currently available through its integration with MXCuBE on a number of beamlines.
