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

DNA tensegrity triangles self-assemble into rhombohedral three-dimensional crystals via sticky ended cohesion. Crystals containing two-nucleotide (nt) sticky ends (GA:TC) have been reported previously, and those crystals diffracted to 4.9 Å at beamline NSLS-I-X25. Here, we analyze the effect of varying sticky end lengths and sequences as well as the impact of 5'- and 3'-phosphates on crystal formation and resolution. Tensegrity triangle motifs having 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-nt sticky ends all form crystals. X-ray diffraction data from the same beamline reveal that the crystal resolution for a 1-nt sticky end (G:C) and a 3-nt sticky end (GAT:ATC) were 3.4 and 4.2 Å, respectively. Resolutions were determined from complete data sets in each case. We also conducted trials that examined every possible combination of 1-nucleotide and 2-nucleotide sticky-ended phosphorylated strands and successfully crystallized all 16 possible combinations of strands. We observed the position of the 5'-phosphate on either the crossover (1), helical (2), or central strand (3) affected the resolution of the self-assembled crystals for the 2-turn monomer (3.0 Å for 1-2P-3P) and 2-turn dimer sticky ended (4.1 Å for 1-2-3P) systems. We have also examined the impact of the identity of the base flanking the sticky ends as well as the use of 3'-phosphate. We conclude that crystal resolution is not a simple consequence of the thermodynamics of the direct nucleotide pairing interactions involved in molecular cohesion in this system.
