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 translation of proteins as effective intracellular drug candidates is limited by the challenge of cellular entry and their vulnerability to degradation. To advance their therapeutic potential, cell-impermeable proteins can be readily transformed into protein spherical nucleic acids (ProSNAs) by densely functionalizing their surfaces with DNA, yielding structures that are efficiently taken up by cells. Because small structural changes in the chemical makeup of a conjugated ligand can affect the bioactivity of the associated protein, structure-activity relationships of the linker bridging the DNA and the protein surface and the DNA sequence itself are investigated on the ProSNA system. In terms of attachment chemistry, DNA-based linkers promote a sevenfold increase in cellular uptake while maintaining enzymatic activity
