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

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hydrogels combine the properties of DNAs and hydrogels, and adding functionalized DNAs is key to the wide application of DNA hydrogels. In stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels, the DNA transcends its application in genetics and bridges the gap between different fields. Specifically, the DNA acts as both an information carrier and a bridge in constructing DNA hydrogels. The programmability and biocompatibility of DNA hydrogel make it change macroscopically in response to a variety of stimuli. In order to meet the needs of different scenarios, DNA hydrogels were also designed into microcapsules, beads, membranes, microneedle patches, and other forms. In this study, the stimuli were classified into single biological and non-biological stimuli and composite stimuli. Stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels from the past five years were summarized, including but not limited to their design and application, in particular logic gate pathways and signal amplification mechanisms. Stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels have been applied to fields such as sensing, nanorobots, information carriers, controlled drug release, and disease treatment. Different potential applications and the developmental pro-spects of stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels were discussed.
