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

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data acquisition is time-intensive given that a large amount of data is required to obtain a high-resolution reconstruction. Here, we eliminate camera-induced delay time by continuously recording during beam-image shift acquisition using a method called Continuous Recording Beam-Image Shift (CR-BIS). The utilization of CR-BIS with K3 and Falcon 4 direct electron detectors and conventional data acquisition conditions enables the acquisition of ~34,000 micrographs and ~1,000 tilt series per 24 h in single-particle analysis mode and cryo-electron tomography mode, respectively. Three-dimensional reconstructions of single-particle and tomographic datasets show that CR-BIS accelerates data collection and maintains data quality. CR-BIS is broadly applicable for efficient high-resolution cryo-EM since it can be implemented into existing acquisition software through scripting and it does not require hardware modification.
