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

Super-selective multivalent ligand-receptor interactions display a signature step-like onset in binding when meeting a characteristic density of target receptors. Materials engineered for super-selective binding generally display a high number of flexible ligands to enhance the systems' avidity. In many biological processes, however, ligands are present in moderate copy numbers and arranged in spatio-temporal patterns. In this low-valency regime, the rigidity of the ligand-presenting architecture plays a critical role in the selectivity of the multivalent complex through decrease of the entropic penalty of binding. Exploiting the precision in spatial design inherent to the DNA nanotechnology, we engineered a library of rigid architectures to explore how valency, affinity, and nano-spacing control the presence of super-selectivity in multivalent binding. A micromolar monovalent affinity was required for super-selective binding to be observed within low-valency systems, and the transition point for stable interactions was measured at hexavalent ligand presentation, setting the limits of the low-valency regime. Super-selective binding was observed for all hexavalent architectures, and, more strikingly, the ligand pattern determined the selectivity onset. Hereby, we demonstrate for the first time that nano-control of geometric patterns can be used to discriminate between receptor densities in a super-selective manner. Materials that were indistinguishable in their molecular composition and ligand valency bound with various efficacies on surfaces with constant receptor densities. We define this new phenomenon in super-selective binding as multivalent pattern recognition.
