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

Nonenzymatic catalytic substrates have been engineered using toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement, and their programmable applications range from medical diagnosis to molecular computation. However, the complexity, stability, scalability, and sensitivity of those systems are plagued by network leakage. A novel way to suppress leakage is to increase its energy barrier through four-way branch migration. Presented here, we designed multi-arm junction substrates that simultaneously exploit four-way branch migration, with a high-energy barrier to minimize leakage, and three-way branch migration, with a low-energy barrier to maximize catalysis. Original feed forward, autocatalytic, and cross-catalytic systems have been designed with polynomial and exponential amplification that exhibit the modularity of linear substrates and the stability of hairpin substrates, creating a new phase space for synthetic biologist, biotechnologist, and DNA nanotechnologists to explore. A key insight is that high-performing circuits can be engineered in the absence of intensive purification and/or extensive rounds of design optimization. Without adopting established leakage suppression techniques, the ratio of the catalytic rate constant to the leakage rate constant is more than 2 orders of magnitude greater than state-of-the-art linear and hairpin substrates. Our results demonstrate that multi-arm junctions have great potential to become central building blocks in dynamic DNA nanotechnology.
