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

Structural DNA nanotechnology can be programmed into complex designer structures with molecular precision for directing a wide range of inorganic and biological materials. However, the use of DNA-templated approaches for the fabrication and performance requirements of ultra-scaled semiconductor electronics is limited by its assembly disorder and destructive interface composition. In this protocol, using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as model semiconductors, we provide a stepwise process to build ultra-scaled, high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) from micron-scale three-dimensional DNA templates. We apply the approach to assemble CNT arrays with uniform pitches scaled between 24.1 and 10.4 nm with yields of more than 95%, which exceeds the resolution limits of conventional lithography. To achieve highly clean CNT interfaces, we detail a rinsing-after-fixing step to remove residual DNA template and salt contaminations present around the contact and the channel regions, without modifying the alignment of the CNT arrays. The DNA-templated CNT FETs display both high on-state current (4-15 μA per CNT) and small subthreshold swing (60-100 mV per decade), which are superior to previous examples of biotemplated electronics and match the performance metrics of high-performance, silicon-based electronics. The scalable assembly of defect-free three-dimensional DNA templates requires 1 week and the CNT arrays can be synthesized within half a day. The interface engineering requires 1-2 d, while the fabrication of high-performance FET and logic gate circuits requires 2-4 d. The structural and performance characterizations of molecular-precise DNA self-assembly and high-performance electronics requires 1-2 d. The protocol is suited for users with expertise in DNA nanotechnology and semiconductor electronics.
