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 has emerged as a promising material to address growing data storage demands. We recently demonstrated a structure-based DNA data storage approach where DNA probes are spatially oriented on the surface of DNA origami and decoded using DNA-PAINT. In this approach, larger origami structures could improve the efficiency of reading and writing data. However, larger origami require long single-stranded DNA scaffolds that are not commonly available. Here, we report the engineering of a novel longer DNA scaffold designed to produce a larger rectangle origami needed to expand the origami-based digital nucleic acid memory (dNAM) approach. We confirmed that this scaffold self-assembled into the correct origami platform and correctly positioned DNA data strands using atomic force microscopy and DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy. This larger structure enables a 67% increase in the number of data points per origami and will support efforts to efficiently scale up origami-based dNAM.
