Spring-loaded DNA origami arrays as energy-supplied hardware for modular nanorobots.
Article in Science robotics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
DNA origami nanorobots allow for the rational design of nanomachines that respond to environmental stimuli with preprogrammed tasks. To date, this mostly is achieved by constructing two-state switches that, upon activation, change their conformation, resulting in the performance of an operation. Their applicability is often limited to a single, specific stimulus-output combination because of their intrinsic properties as two-state systems only. This makes expanding them further challenging. Here, we addressed this limitation by introducing reconfigurable DNA origami arrays as networks of coupled two-state systems. This universal design strategy enables the integration of various operational units into any two-state system within the nanorobot, allowing it to process multiple stimuli, compute responses using multilevel Boolean logic, and execute a range of operations with controlled order, timing, and spatial position. We anticipate that this strategy will be instrumental in further developing DNA origami nanorobots for applications in various technological fields.
