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-based nanoparticle assemblies have emerged as leading candidates in the development of bioimaging materials, photonic devices, and computing materials. Here, we combine atomistic simulations and experiments to characterize the wrapping mechanism of chimeric single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on CdSe-ZnS (core-shell) quantum dots (QDs) at different ratios of the phosphorothioate (PS) modification of the bases. We use an implicit solvent, all-atom ssDNA model to match the experimentally calculated ssDNA conformation at low salt concentrations. Through simulation, we find that 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) induces electrostatic repulsion and O-(2-mercaptoethyl)-Ó-methyl-hexa (ethylene glycol) (mPEG) induces steric exclusion, and both reduce the binding affinity of ssDNA. In both simulation and experiment, we find that ssDNA is closer to the QD surface when the QD size is larger. The effect of the PS-base ratio on the conformation of ssDNA is also elaborated in this work. We found through MD simulations, and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, that the maximum valence numbers are 1, 2, and 3 on QDs of 6, 9, and 14 nm in diameter, respectively. We conclude that the maximum ssDNA valence number is linearly related to the QD size,
