Article in Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 (cryoET) enables visualization of macromolecular complexes within intact cellular environments. Continued improvements in instrumentation, sample preparation, and data-processing pipelines have increased both the scale and the complexity of cryoET datasets, making manual analysis challenging. To support scalable, collaborative annotation, we developed copick, an open-source dataset application programming interface (API) and accompanying tool suite for cryoET analysis. Copick provides standardized access to tomograms, segmentations, point annotations, meshes, and feature maps across local storage, high-performance computing systems, cloud platforms, and public repositories. Plugins for napari and ChimeraX enable human-in-the-loop workflows for particle picking, segmentation, inspection of machine-learning outputs, and project-level collaboration. A multi-resolution Open Microscopy Environment (OME)-Zarr architecture supports responsive visualization and cross-platform access. Copick additionally provides a Model Context Protocol interface enabling automated generation of annotation-curation pipelines using natural-language instructions. Together, these tools support reproducible, scalable, and collaborative cryoET analysis.
