Dynamic Actuation of DNA-Assembled Plasmonic Nanostructures in Microfluidic Cell-Sized Compartments.
Article in Nano letters, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Molecular motor proteins form the basis of cellular dynamics. Recently, notable efforts have led to the creation of their DNA-based mimics, which can carry out complex nanoscale motion. However, such functional analogues have not yet been integrated or operated inside synthetic cells toward the goal of realizing artificial biological systems entirely from the bottom-up. In this Letter, we encapsulate and actuate DNA-assembled dynamic nanostructures inside cell-sized microfluidic compartments. These encapsulated DNA nanostructures not only exhibit structural reconfigurability owing to their pH-sensitive molecular switches upon external stimuli but also possess optical feedback enabled by the integrated plasmonic probes. In particular, we demonstrate the power of microfluidic compartmentalization for achieving on-chip plasmonic enantiomer separation and substrate filtration. Our work exemplifies that the two unique tools, droplet-based microfluidics and DNA technology, offering high precision on the microscale and nanoscale, respectively, can be brought together to greatly enrich the complexity and diversity of functional synthetic systems.
