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

Enzymatic ligation is a popular method in DNA nanotechnology for structural enforcement. When employed as stability switch for chosen components, ligation can be applied to induce DNA nanostructure reconfiguration. In this study, we investigate the reinforcement effect of ligation on addressable DNA nanostructures assembled entirely from short synthetic strands as the basis of structural reconfiguration. A careful calibration of ligation efficiency is performed on structures with programmable nicks. Systematic investigation using comparative agarose gel electrophoresis enables quantitative assessment of enhanced survivability with ligation treatment on a number of unique structures. The solid ligation performance sets up the foundation for the ligation-based structural reconfiguration. With the capability of switching base pairing status between permanent and transient (ON and OFF) by a simple round of enzymatic treatment, ligation induced reconfiguration can be engineered for DNA nanostructures accordingly.
