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

Herein, we develop a facile route to bring DNA to the organic phase, which greatly expands the types of structures accessible using DNA macromonomers. Phosphotriester- and exocyclic amine-protected DNA was synthesized and further modified with a norbornene moiety, which enables homopolymerization via ring-opening metathesis to produce brush-type DNA graft polymers in high yields. Subsequent deprotection cleanly reveals the natural phosphodiester DNA. The method not only achieves high molecular weight DNA graft polymers but when carried out at low monomer:catalyst ratios, yields oligomers that can be further fractionated to molecularly pure, monodisperse entities with one through ten DNA strands per molecule. In addition, we demonstrate substantial simplification in the preparation of traditionally difficult DNA-containing structures, such as DNA/poly(ethylene glycol) diblock graft copolymers and DNA amphiphiles. We envision that the marriage of oligonucleotides with the vast range of organic-phase polymerizations will result in many new classes of materials with yet unknown properties.
