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

High-throughput data processing is necessary to realize the full potential of cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging. The field's fragmented software landscape remains a considerable hurdle to this end. Here we present AreTomoLive, an automated preprocessing pipeline composed of two GPU-accelerated packages. The first, AreTomo3, streamlines tomographic alignment and reconstruction, with new features to fully account for sample geometry and locally correct the contrast transfer function. The second package, DenoisET, leverages AreTomo3's comprehensively corrected tomograms to retain more intermediate-resolution features during contrast enhancement. Collectively, this pipeline prioritizes automation to support data preprocessing concurrent with data collection at scale.
