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 four-way DNA junction is the most prevalent structural motif in DNA nanotechnology. Recently, a reconfigurable DNA nanoarray (domino array) was created with this basic motif to realize intricate, stepwise transformation by the information relay between neighboring four-way junction units. Here, we generate a DNA domino array with same sequences at every junction, and use it as a platform to study how the design of DNA bases at junctions influences the kinetics and thermodynamics of transformation of four-way junctions in reconfigurable DNA nanoarrays. By regulating the energy difference and thus the conversion between the two configurations of four-way junctions, we show the transformation of DNA nanoarray can be modulated in a designable manner. The coordinated transformation of four-way junctions in the DNA domino array enables a detailed investigation on array transformation by using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) imaging and single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy.
