From spacecraft ranging to massive DNA data storage: Composite ranging codes as indices and error correction references.
Article in Science advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 data storage has emerged as a promising data archive medium, which distributes data across many unordered DNA strands. Thus, retrieving large-scale data from these strands is a critical challenge, for these strands require indices and are prone to errors. Here, we propose an accompanying indexing and progressive recovery framework with specialized long composite ranging codes (LCRCs) for massive DNA data storage. Specifically, short fractions of the LCRC serve as accompanying indices for megabyte to petabyte data. Correlation with the short component codes enables rapid data recovery, while alignment to the LCRC facilitates reliable recovery under severe insertions/deletions. Simulations reveal that this scheme can be extended to the petabyte scale. Progressive error correction enables low-coverage recovery. Real-time read-by-read decoding recovered 12.87-megabyte files in ~20 min with 3.66× coverage at an error rate of ~4.9% using a nanopore sequencer. This framework provides a universal and practical strategy for DNA data storage.
