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

Rational design of nucleic acid molecules yields self-assembling scaffolds with increasing complexity, size and functionality. It is an open question whether design methods tailored to build DNA nanostructures can be adapted to build RNA nanostructures with comparable features. Here we demonstrate the formation of RNA lattices and tubular assemblies from double crossover (DX) tiles, a canonical motif in DNA nanotechnology. Tubular structures can exceed 1 μm in length, suggesting that this DX motif can produce very robust lattices. Some of these tubes spontaneously form with left-handed chirality. We obtain assemblies by using two methods: a protocol where gel-extracted RNA strands are slowly annealed, and a one-pot transcription and anneal procedure. We identify the tile nick position as a structural requirement for lattice formation. Our results demonstrate that stable RNA structures can be obtained with design tools imported from DNA nanotechnology. These large assemblies could be potentially integrated with a variety of functional RNA motifs for drug or nanoparticle delivery, or for colocalization of cellular components.
