Mechanically Tunable DNA Hydrogels as Prospective Biosensing Modules.
Article in Macromolecular rapid communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Sequence-programmable DNA building blocks offer high degree of freedom in designing arbitrarily complex networks of tunable viscoelastic properties. Yet, the deployment of DNA-based functional materials remains limited due to insufficient control over the emerging structures and their mechanics. In an ongoing effort to place structure-property relations in stimuli-responsive DNA materials on a firm foundation, here a systematic rheological study of self-assembling DNA networks is presented, comprised of short DNA nanomotifs, namely trivalent nanostars and bivalent linkers, where the latter differ in their composition on a single base-pair level. Notably, we found through combining conventional bulk rheology with diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS-based) passive microrheology a relationship between the melting temperature of a DNA hydrogel and its DNA sequence composition. By providing a use case, we demonstrated how the determination of such empirical relations could impact the areas of biosensing and mechanical computing, where control over the system state and target identification are key.
