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

Nanometer-sized features and molecular recognition properties make DNA a useful material for nanoscale construction, but degradation in biological fluids poses a considerable roadblock to biomedical applications of DNA nanotechnology. Here, we report the remarkable biostability of a multistranded motif called paranemic crossover (PX) DNA. Compared to double stranded DNA, PX DNA has dramatically enhanced (sometimes >1000 fold) resistance to degradation by four different nucleases, bovine and human serum, and human urine. We trace the cause of PX's biostability to DNA crossovers, showing a continuum of protection that scales with the number of crossovers. These results suggest that enhanced biostability can be engineered into DNA nanostructures by adopting PX-based architectures or by strategic crossover placement.
