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

Moiré superlattices have been extensively designed and implemented in atomic-scale van der Waals systems and submicrometre-scale photonic systems. However, bridging the structural gap between these scales has remained a substantial challenge. Here we demonstrate engineered DNA moiré superlattices with sublattice constants as small as ~2 nm and moiré periodicities spanning tens of nanometres. Using twisted DNA origami nanoseeds, we precisely control the layered registry of 2D microscale single-stranded tile DNA sublattices, achieving seed-defined twist angles with deviations below 2°, along with customizable interlayer spacing, stacking sequences and sublattice symmetries. The modularity of nucleation sites on the seeds enables synthetic control over the nucleation and growth pathways, resulting in a high bilayer fraction of 90%. Notably, we demonstrate a gradient moiré superlattice with a gradual variation in moiré periodicity, highlighting the potential of DNA nanotechnology to construct entirely new artificial structures and materials from the bottom up.
