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 X06DA-PXIII beamline is a crystallography beamline on a superbend magnet at the Swiss Light Source. Since 2008, it has served the scientific community, contributing to 2650 Protein Data Bank structures as of today (i.e. before the SLS shutdown started in autumn 2023). Just before the upgrade of the storage ring, the beamline has been rebuilt with new X-ray optics to exploit the full potential of SLS 2.0. Its new design aims for a unique position in macromolecular crystallography beamlines worldwide: it exploits the excellent electron beam properties of small sizes below 10 µm, uses a toroidal mirror close to the source to harvest a large solid angle of the bending magnet beam, minimizes toroidal aberration with a horizontal 1:2 focusing concept and finally utilizes a high-quality Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror system to focus the beam onto the sample. Herein, we describe the beamline's optical performance during first commissioning and demonstrate how the reduced emittance of the new storage ring improves its focusing capabilities and overall efficiency.
