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

Viruslike particles (VLPs) fabricated using wireframe DNA origami are emerging as promising vaccine and gene therapeutic delivery platforms due to their programmable nature that offers independent control over their size and shape, as well as their site-specific functionalization. As materials that biodegrade in the presence of endonucleases, specifically DNase I and II, their utility for the targeting of cells, tissues, and organs depends on their stability in vivo. Here, we explore minor groove binders (MGBs) as specific endonuclease inhibitors to control the degradation half-life of wireframe DNA origami. Bare, unprotected DNA-VLPs composed of two-helix edges were found to be stable in fetal bovine serum under typical cell culture conditions and in human serum for 24 h but degraded within 3 h in mouse serum, suggesting species-specific endonuclease activity. Inhibiting endonucleases by incubating DNA-VLPs with diamidine-class MGBs increased their half-lives in mouse serum by more than 12 h, corroborated by protection against isolated DNase I and II. Our stabilization strategy was compatible with the functionalization of DNA-VLPs with HIV antigens, did not interfere with B-cell signaling activity of DNA-VLPs in vitro, and was nontoxic to B-cell lines. It was further found to be compatible with multiple wireframe DNA origami geometries and edge architectures. MGB protection is complementary to existing methods such as PEGylation and chemical cross-linking, offering a facile protocol to control DNase-mediated degradation rates for in vitro and possibly in vivo therapeutic and vaccine applications.
