The motive forces in DNA-enabled nanomachinery.
Review in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Building machines that can augment or replace human efforts to accomplish complex tasks is one of central topics for humanity. Especially, nanomachines made of discrete numbers of molecular components can perform intended mechanical movements in a predetermined manner. Utilizing free energies of Watson-Crick base pairing, different types of DNA nanomachines have been invented to operate intended stepwise or autonomous actions with external stimuli, and we here summarized the motive forces that drive DNA-based nanomachineries. DNA tweezers, DNA origami actuators, DNA walkers, and DNA machine-enabled bulk sensing are discussed including structural motif design, toehold creations for strands displacement reactions, and other input forces, as well as examples of biological motor-driven hybrid nanomachines. By addressing these prototypical artificial nanodevices, we envision future focuses should include developing various input energies, host cell-assisted structure self-replication, and nonequilibrium transportations.
