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

Allostery is a fundamental way to regulate the function of biomolecules playing crucial roles in cell metabolism and proliferation and is deemed the second secret of life. Given the limited understanding of the structure of natural allosteric molecules, the development of artificial allosteric molecules brings a huge opportunity to transform the allosteric mechanism into practical applications. In this study, the concept of bionics is introduced into the design of artificial allosteric molecules and an allosteric DNA switch with an activity site and an allosteric site based on two aptamers for selective inhibition of thrombin activity. Compared with the single aptamer, the allosteric switch possesses a significantly enhanced inhibition ability, which can be precisely regulated by converting the switch states. Moreover, the dynamic allosteric switch is further subjected to the control of the DNA threshold circuit for realizing automatic concentration determination and activity inhibition of thrombin. These compelling results confirm that this allosteric switch equipped with self-sensing and information-processing modules puts a new slant on the research of allosteric mechanisms and further application of allosteric tactics in chemical and biomedical fields.
