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

We report experimental results on damage induced by ionizing radiation to DNA origami triangles which are commonly used prototypes for scaffolded DNA origami nanostructures. We demonstrate extreme stability of DNA origami upon irradiation, which is caused by (i) the multi-row design holding the shape of the origami even after severe damage to the scaffold DNA and (ii) the reduction of damage to the scaffold DNA due to the protective effect of the folded structure. With respect to damage induced by ionizing radiation, the protective effect of the structure is superior to that of a naturally paired DNA double helix. Present results allow estimating the stability of scaffolded DNA origami nanostructures in applications such as nanotechnology, pharmacy or in singulo molecular studies where they are exposed to ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources. Additionally, possibilities are opened for scaffolded DNA use in the design of radiation-resistant and radio-sensitive materials.
