Recent Progress in DNA Biosensors: Target-Specific and Structure-Guided Signal Amplification.
Review in Biosensors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is not only a fundamental biological molecule but also a versatile material for constructing sensitive and specific biosensing platforms. Its ability to undergo sequence-specific hybridization via Watson-Crick base pairing enables both precise target recognition and the programmable construction of nanoscale structures. The demand for ultrasensitive detection increases in fields such as disease diagnostics, therapeutics, and other areas, and the inherent characteristics of DNA have driven the development of a wide range of signal amplification strategies. Among these, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), rolling circle amplification (RCA), and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) represent powerful target-based methods that enzymatically increase the concentration of nucleic acid targets, thereby boosting detection sensitivity. In parallel, structure-based strategies leverage the nanoscale spatial programmability of DNA to construct functional architectures with high precision. DNA can be used as a scaffold, such as DNA nanostructures, to organize sensing elements and facilitate signal transduction. It can also function as a probe, like aptamers, to recognize targets with high affinity. These versatilities enable the creation of highly sophisticated sensing platforms that integrate molecular recognition and signal amplification. Driven by DNA nano-assembly capability, both target-based and structure-based approaches are driving the advancement of highly sensitive, selective, and adaptable diagnostic technologies. This review highlights recent developments in DNA nano-assembly-driven amplification strategies.
