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

Cellular cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) enables the capture of detailed structural information within a biologically relevant environment. However, information in more complex samples, such as multicellular specimens and tissues, is lacking. Importantly, these observations need to be set in the context of populations. Currently, imaging on the molecular scale is limited to a few observations in situ that struggle to be generalized. This is due to limitations in throughput and versatility employed by current instrumentation. Here, we utilize plasma focused ion beam milling to examine the molecular landscape of mouse hippocampus by cryo-ET. We reveal the complex organization of macromolecules in targeted regions across CA1 stratum pyramidale (sp) to radiatum (sr), representing a molecular atlas of hippocampal architecture in adult mice. The combination of instrumentation and application of technical advancements provides a framework to explore specific structural questions within other tissues in a targeted manner.
