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 nanostructures have attracted significant attention as an innovative tool in a variety of research areas, spanning from nanophotonics to bottom-up nanofabrication. However, the use of DNA origami is often restricted by their rather limited structural stability in application-specific conditions. The structural integrity of DNA origami is known to be superstructure-dependent, and the integrity is influenced by various external factors, for example cation concentration, temperature, and presence of nucleases. Given the necessity to functionalize DNA origami also with non-water-soluble entities, it is important to acquire knowledge of the structural stability of DNA origami in various organic solvents. Therefore, we herein systematically investigate the post-folding DNA origami stability in a variety of polar, water-miscible solvents, including acetone, ethanol, DMF, and DMSO. Our results suggest that the structural integrity of DNA origami in organic solvents is both superstructure-dependent and dependent on the properties of the organic solvent. In addition, DNA origami are generally more resistant to added organic solvents in folding buffer compared to that in deionized water. DNA origami stability can be maintained in up to 25-40% DMF or DMSO and up to 70-90% acetone or ethanol, with the highest overall stability observed in acetone. By rationally selecting both the DNA origami design and the solvent, the DNA origami stability can be maintained in high concentrations of organic solvents, which paves the way for more extensive use of non-water-soluble compounds for DNA origami functionalization and complexation.
