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

DNA origami-based nanotechnology is a versatile tool for exploring fundamental biological questions and holds significant promise for future biomedical applications. Here, we leverage the optical transparency of the embryonic zebrafish to analyze live embryos injected intravenously with fluorescently labeled wireframe DNA origami nanosheets. Our approach integrated long-term, high-resolution imaging of transgenic live zebrafish embryos with single-cell RNA sequencing to elucidate the effects of oligolysine-polyethylene glycol copolymer (K-PEG) coating on the biodistribution of fluorescence signal in embryos injected with wireframe DNA origami nanosheets. We observed rapid accumulation of fluorescence signal in the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT). K-PEG coating mitigated the accumulation of fluorescence signal in CHT, enabling increased detection of signal in other tissues. Our findings highlighted the pivotal role of scavenger endothelial cells in DNA origami clearance, with K-PEG enabling the prolonged detection of fluorescence signal at the CHT. Furthermore, using a transgenic zebrafish line designed for targeted macrophage ablation, we found that macrophages contribute to the clearance of fluorescence signal in embryos injected with the noncoated but not with K-PEG-coated nanosheets. This study introduces a framework for the analyses of the biodistribution and clearance of DNA origami nanostructures
