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 nanotechnology is a powerful synthetic approach to crafting diverse nanostructures through self-assembly. Chemical decoration of such nanostructures is often required to tailor their properties for specific applications. In this Letter, we introduce a pioneering method to direct the assembly and enable the functionalization of DNA nanostructures using an azide-bearing functional polyamine. We first demonstrate the successful polyamine-assisted folding of a scaffolded DNA origami nanostructure equipped with reactive azide groups. Leveraging this reactivity, we next showcase the decoration of the DNA origami via strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition with dibenzocyclooctyne-containing functional molecules. Specifically, we incorporate a fluorophore (Cy5), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and a hydrophobic phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) tag to tailor the properties of our DNA origami nanostructures. Our approach is expected to streamline and reduce the cost of chemical customization of intricate DNA nanostructures, paving the way for enhanced versatility and applicability.
