Building machines with DNA molecules.
Review in Nature reviews. Genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 110 papers.
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.
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
In nature, DNA molecules carry the hereditary information. But DNA has physical and chemical properties that make it attractive for uses beyond heredity. In this Review, we discuss the potential of DNA for creating machines that are both encoded by and built from DNA molecules. We review the main methods of DNA nanostructure assembly, describe recent advances in building increasingly complex molecular structures and discuss strategies for creating machine-like nanostructures that can be actuated and move. We highlight opportunities for applications of custom DNA nanostructures as scientific tools to address challenges across biology, chemistry and engineering.
