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

To investigate multichromophore phenomena, progress traditionally relies on model covalent dimers for spectroscopic interrogation. Integrating molecular semiconductors into nucleic acid libraries can enable rapid screening of multichromophore phenomena. Here, we report DNA-directed assembly of up to five π-conjugated chromophores that demonstrate charge separation and electronic delocalization phenomena. We integrate a range of porphyrins and perylene diimides (PDIs)─molecular semiconducting materials widely used in organic electronic devices─in DNA, encoding nearest-neighbor assembly through base-sequence programmed hybridization. In this way, we can assemble multicomponent stacks with tailored electronic properties from a central chromophore-DNA library. This allows dimer and multimer production on demand, within hours, from presynthesized DNA-chromophores for spectroscopic analysis. We demonstrate the library's ability to optimize for charge transfer, computationally prescreening for close π-stacking as a proxy for large orbital overlap and exchange energy. Our modular DNA assembly reveals opportunities for rapid development of simple, bespoke chromophore architectures with stoichiometric chromophore control and ordering.
