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 origami may enable more versatile gene delivery applications through its ability to create custom nanoscale objects with specific targeting, cell-invading, and intracellular effector functionalities. Toward this goal here we describe the expression of genes folded in DNA origami objects delivered to mammalian cells. Genes readily express from custom-sequence single-strand scaffolds folded within DNA origami objects, provided that the objects can denature in the cell. We demonstrate enhanced gene expression efficiency by including and tuning multiple functional sequences and structures, including virus-inspired inverted-terminal repeat-like (ITR) hairpin motifs upstream or flanking the expression cassette. We describe gene-encoding DNA origami bricks that assemble into multimeric objects to enable stoichiometrically controlled co-delivery and expression of multiple genes in the same cells. Our work provides a framework for exploiting DNA origami for gene delivery applications.
