An Electrically Actuated, Carbon-Nanotube-Based Biomimetic Ion Pump.
Article in Nano letters, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are well-established transporters of electronic current, electrolyte, and ions. In this work, we demonstrate an electrically actuated biomimetic ion pump by combining these electronic and nanofluidic transport capabilities within an individual SWCNT device. Ion pumping is driven by a solid-state electronic input, as Coulomb drag coupling transduces electrical energy from solid-state charge along the SWCNT shell to electrolyte inside the SWCNT core. Short-circuit ionic currents, measured without an electrolyte potential difference, exceed 1 nA and scale larger with increasing ion concentrations through 1 M, demonstrating applicability under physiological (∼140 mM) and saltwater (∼600 mM) conditions. The interlayer coupling allows ionic currents to be tuned with the source-drain potential difference and electronic currents to be tuned with the electrolyte potential difference. This combined electronic-nanofluidic SWCNT device presents intriguing applications as a biomimetic ion pump or component of an artificial membrane.
