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 is recognized to be a high-density storage medium for solving the global data storage crisis. From encoding to storage, massive information stored in synthetic DNA requires low-loss and high-speed transmission to a reliable preservation environment. Minimizing energy consumption remains a key challenge throughout this process. In this study, an aqueous biphasic interfacial transmission (BIT) pathway is established that enables simultaneous salt-decontaminated migration and anti-aging preservation, with a theoretically extrapolated half-life of up to 577 years at -20°C. Specific temperature windows of either 20°C, 25°C, or 30-40°C open the trans-phasic pathway. Covering most room-temperature scenarios without excess energy input, the process is completed at a 30-minute standing solution state or accelerated by a 2-minute centrifugation mode. The interphase partition coefficient exceeds 264, ensuring a DNA transfer efficiency of over 80% regardless of DNA structure or sequence. The low water activity of the PEG-rich preservation environment stabilizes the nucleotide bonding, thus preserving the integrity of DNA's secondary structure information throughout the entire phase transferring process. The polymeric preservation network kinetically restricts DNA and enzyme diffusion, isolating degradation factors. This BIT pathway enables a scalable and energy-efficient strategy with tunable operational parameters for securing DNA data storage during information circulation and long-term preservation.
