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

Understanding the folding process of DNA origami is a critical stepping stone to the broader implementation of nucleic acid nanofabrication technology but is notably nontrivial. Origami are formed by several hundred cooperative hybridization events-folds-between spatially separate domains of a scaffold, derived from a viral genome, and oligomeric staples. Individual events are difficult to detect. Here, we present a real-time probe of the unit operation of origami assembly, a single fold, across the scaffold as a function of hybridization domain separation-fold distance-and staple/scaffold ratio. This approach to the folding problem elucidates a predicted but previously unobserved blocked state that acts as a limit on yield for single folds, which may manifest as a barrier in whole origami assembly.
