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 holds great potential for advancing therapeutics, but the lack of methods for the precise assessment of structural integrity in vivo prevents its translation. Here we introduce proximity ligation assay for structural tracking and integrity quantification (PLASTIQ) for resolving origami structural integrity with only 1 µl of blood sample and with a detection limit of 0.01 fM. Through PLASTIQ, we could observe and quantify the dynamics of DNA origami degradation during blood circulation and evaluate the effectiveness of PEGylation for slowing this process in a murine model. Additionally, by using a double-layered barrel-like origami structure, we found distinct degradation kinetics of DNA helices depending on their specific location, revealing the slower degradation of internal helices compared with the outer ones. Our results suggest that PLASTIQ offers a quantitative approach for assessing DNA origami integrity in vivo by longitudinal sampling, providing dynamic pharmaceutical-level insights for accelerating the development of DNA-nanostructure-based therapeutic molecules and drugs.
