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

The recent development of the DNA-binding domain (DBD)-dynein chimera motors with a dynein motor core and a DNA-binding domain has made it possible to move on DNA nanostructure tracks. In contrast to naturally occurring cytoskeletal filaments such as microtubules and actin filaments, DNA tracks can be programmed with structural properties such as length, stiffness, and circumference. There might be many advantages to using DNA as a track, for example, for applications in nanotechnology. However, care must be taken in design and motility assay conditions to ensure the successful operation of such novel motors; the novel motor system functions under conditions different from those commonly used in the field of natural biomolecular motors. Here, we describe the methods for designing DNA nanostructures and the conditions for motility assays in which the DBD-dynein motors translocate DNA nanotube tracks or move on them.
