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 has recently provided a novel approach for developing safe, biocompatible, biodegradable, non-immunogenic, and non-toxic drug delivery systems. DNA nanostructures have numerous advantages for deployment as drug delivery platforms, owing to programmable assembly, ease of production, reproducibility, and precise control over size, shape, and function. DNA nanostructures can dramatically improve the delivery of poorly soluble drugs, decreasing cytotoxicity to normal tissues and improving therapeutic effectiveness. Using different conjugation methods, DNA nanostructures can be precisely integrated with a wide range of functional moieties, including proteins, peptides, aptamers, polymers, lipids, inorganic nanoparticles, and targeting groups, to enhance the nanostructure stability, extend circulation, and specify drug delivery. Smart DNA nanostructures with targeting ligands or a stimuli-responsive moiety specify therapeutic delivery to target, minimize drug loss attributable to prior drug release or off-target distribution, improve target accumulation, promote cellular internalization, bypass efflux pumps, and avoid adverse effects. Target-specific delivery by smart DNA nanostructures, in turn, maximizes drug concentration, reaching the target locations at a faster rate and preventing therapeutic failure while also lowering the dose needed for therapeutic effect. This Review provides an overview of DNA nanostructures for drug encapsulation and selective delivery to the desired sites. DNA nanostructures are a novel platform for drug delivery with improved performance that may be used to treat a variety of diseases.
