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

Duplexed aptamers (DAs) are ligand-responsive constructs engineered by hybridizing an aptamer with an aptamer-complementary element (ACE, e.g., a DNA oligonucleotide). Although DAs are commonly deployed, the binding dynamics of ternary ACE-aptamer-ligand systems remain underexplored, having been conventionally described by a conformational selection framework. Here we introduce aptamer-complementary element scanning (ACE-Scan) as a method to generate comprehensive hybridization, spontaneous off-rate, and induced fit ligand-binding landscapes for entire DA families. ACE-Scan reveals induced fit in DAs engineered from small molecule- and protein-binding DNA and RNA aptamers, as well as DAs engineered from the natural add riboswitch aptamer. To validate ACE-Scan, we engineer solution-phase ATP-specific DAs from 5 ACEs with varying spontaneous and induced fit off-rates, generating aptasensors with 8-fold differences in dynamic range consistent with ACE-Scan. This work demonstrates that ACE-Scan can readily map induced fit in DAs, empowering aptamers in biosensing, synthetic biology, and DNA nanomachines.
