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

G-quadruplex (G4)/hemin DNAzyme is promising horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimic candidate in the biological field. However, its relatively unsatisfactory catalytic capacity limits the potential applications. Inspired by nature protease, we conducted a proximity-enhanced cofactor assembly strategy (PECA) to form an exceptional HRP mimic, namely zippered G4/hemin DNAzyme (Z-G4/H). The hybridization of short oligonucleotides induced proximity assembly of the DNA-grafted hemin (DGH) with the complementary G4 sequences (cG4s), mimicking the tight configuration of protease cofactor and apoenzyme. The detailed investigations of catalytic efficiency and mechanism verified the higher activity, more rapid catalytic rate and high environmental tolerance of the Z-G4/H than the classical G4/hemin DNAzymes (C-G4/H). Furthermore, a proximity recognition transducer has been developed based on the PECA for sensitive detection of gene rearrangement and imaging human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (HER2) dimerization on cell surfaces. Our studies demonstrate the high efficiency of Z-G4/H and its universal application potential in clinical diagnostics and biomolecule interaction research. It also may offer significant opportunities and inspiration for the engineering of the protease-free mimic enzyme.
