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

The programmed construction of functional synthetic cells requires spatial control over arrays of biomolecules within the cytomimetic environment. The mimicry of the natural hierarchical assembly of biomolecules remains challenging due to the lack of an appropriate molecular toolbox. Herein, we report the implementation of DNA-decorated supramolecular assemblies as dynamic and responsive nanoscaffolds for the localization of arrays of DNA signal cargo within hierarchically assembled complex coacervate protocells. Protocells stabilized with a semipermeable membrane allow trafficking of single-stranded DNA between neighboring protocells. DNA duplex operations demonstrate the responsiveness of the nanoscaffolds to different input DNA strands via the reversible release of DNA cargo. Moreover, a second population of coacervate protocells with nanoscaffolds featuring a higher affinity for the DNA cargo enabled chemically programmed communication between both protocell populations. This combination of supramolecular structure and function paves the way for the next generation of protocells imbued with programmable, lifelike behaviors.
