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

We describe the design and implementation of a drop-on-fixed-target method for time-resolved serial crystallography at both synchrotron and XFEL facilities. A piezoelectric droplet dispensing pipette is employed for addition of picolitre volume aqueous droplets (∼40-90 pl; ∼40-55 µm diameter sphere), containing (co-)substrate(s) or ligand(s), onto enzyme microcrystals previously loaded into the trapezoidal wells of an etched crystalline silicon fixed-target chip containing 25 600 wells in a high-density, square grid with 125 µm centre-to-centre well spacing. These features demand exquisite accuracy and thereby constrain motion controls to enable robust time-resolved crystallographic studies. The system was tested with three enzyme systems, comprising lysozyme and two β-lactamases, CTX-M-15 and AmpC
