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

This perspective highlights recent applications and technological progress in dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, including double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy. These methods provide nanoscale distance distributions between site-specific spin labels in biomacromolecules. The resulting data are particularly well suited for quantifying the structure and energetics of conformational ensembles of multi-state and flexible proteins. Recent applications span a wide range of systems and are accompanied by innovations in spin labeling, deuteration, in-cell measurements, integrative multi-technique approaches, and novel computational modeling methods combined with structure prediction tools.
