The CAHRA Challenge: A Community-Wide Assessment of Cryo-EM Heterogeneous Reconstruction Algorithms.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The ability of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to interrogate the atomic structure and motion of biomolecules has motivated the development of a wide range of algorithms for heterogeneity analysis. However, evaluating and comparing these methods remains challenging because ground-truth structures are generally unknown for experimental samples. Here, we introduce the 2026 Community-Wide Assessment of Heterogeneous Reconstruction Algorithms (CAHRA), a community-wide challenge centered on three benchmark datasets that probe distinct tasks in heterogeneity analysis. These include (1) compositional heterogeneity arising from mixtures of distinct protein complexes, (2) continuous conformational variability and atomic modeling, and (3) entanglement between molecular conformation and image pose. We describe the design, construction, and validation of these datasets, as well as their use in the recently completed CAHRA Challenge.
