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

DNA storage has been a thriving interdisciplinary research area because of its high density, low maintenance cost, and long durability for information storage. However, the complexity of errors in DNA sequences including substitutions, insertions and deletions hinders its application for massive data storage. Motivated by the divide-and-conquer algorithm, we propose a hierarchical error correction strategy for text DNA storage. The basic idea is to design robust codes for common characters which have one-base error correction ability including insertion and/or deletion. The errors are gradually corrected by the codes in DNA reads, multiple alignment of character lines, and finally word spelling. On one hand, the proposed encoding method provides a systematic way to design storage friendly codes, such as 50% GC content, no more than 2-base homopolymers, and robustness against secondary structures. On the other hand, the proposed error correction method not only corrects single insertion or deletion, but also deals with multiple insertions or deletions. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can correct more than 98% errors when error rate is less than or equal to 0.05. Thus, it is more powerful and adaptable to the complicated DNA storage applications.
