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

The capacity to retain and precisely release historical data at the right moments is typically managed by sequential logic circuits within computer systems. However, the reusability and autonomy of DNA sequential logic circuits still need to be developed. To bridge this gap, a series of sequential logic circuits are implemented by constructing a DNA strand replacement system regulated by a nicking enzyme (nickase). This nickase-integrated system dynamically resolves the thermodynamic-kinetic conflict, offering spatiotemporal control over strand displacement. These circuits include Set-Reset latches (SR-latches) constructed with NOR and NAND gates, along with Data latches (D-latches), are designed with simplicity, autonomy, and reusability. Furthermore, addition, subtraction, and reversible counters leveraging these foundational circuits are successfully constructed. These latches are further applied to transient miRNA recording, environmental toxin detection, and real-time ATP imaging in living cells.
