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

Nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) play crucial roles in all living organisms and find wide utility in clinical settings. The convergence of rationally designed nucleic acid multistranded assemblies with embedded therapeutic properties has led to the development of a platform based on nucleic acid nanoparticles (NANPs). NANPs incorporate various functional moieties to deliver their combinations to diseased cells in a highly controlled manner. Given that the structure and composition of NANPs can also influence their immunorecognition and biological activities, thorough verification of all designs is essential. We introduce an experimental pipeline for small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to gather structural details about the solution-state NANPs assembled from up to 12 RNA strands. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the largest multistranded RNA nanoassemblies characterized in this manner to date. We show that synchronized implementation of SAXS-driven molecular dynamics simulations reveals the diverse conformational landscape inhabited by these assemblies and provides insights into their immunorecognition. The developed strategy expands the capabilities of therapeutic nucleic acids and emerging nucleic acid nanotechnologies.
