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 is a versatile abiomaterial for constructing nanostructures with biomedical and biotechnological applications. Among the methods available, DNA origami is a robust and widely recognized technique. Traditionally, most origami designs adopt antiparallel crossovers in both scaffold and staple strands, with less emphasis on parallel crossovers, which offer advantages like enhanced nuclease resistance and single-strand routing potential. Here, a DNA origami nanostructure is designed, featuring two rotational panels that can be locked into configurations based on either antiparallel or parallel crossovers. By systematically varying the length and arrangement of these key staples, 36 pairs of antiparallel and parallel designs are studied in competitive folding tests, providing insights into the relative preference for each design. The 12 antiparallel and parallel designs are ranked, their folding pathways are examined, and nuclease resistance is assessed. The results reveal that the arrangement of staples near the central scaffold crossover is crucial for shifting between parallel and antiparallel conformations. Additionally, a two-way isothermal transformation between antiparallel and parallel origami driven by toehold-mediated displacement reactions is demonstrated, highlighting the potential of parallel designs as dynamic nanodevices for temperature-sensitive environments. This study offers valuable insights into - dynamics in antiparallel and parallel DNA origami, opening opportunities for designing  nanodevices based on parallel crossovers.
