Inversion of supramolecular chirality by photo-enhanced secondary nucleation.
Article in Nature nanotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Understanding how molecules in solution begin to nucleate and grow into defined aggregates remains an outstanding mechanistic challenge. This is because the nucleation process is affected by a number of physicochemical factors that act simultaneously and whose individual contributions are hard to disentangle. Here, we demonstrate how residual aggregates in a molecular dispersion state affect the nucleation kinetics and the resulting self-assembly pathway. Using the photoisomerization of a chiral azobenzene molecule, the amounts of residual aggregates can be controlled in the pre-assembly supersaturated solution. The residual aggregates induce surface-catalysed secondary nucleation of monomers, affecting the chiral intermolecular configuration during self-assembly to afford metastable right-handed P-aggregates as opposed to thermodynamically stable left-handed M-aggregates. By exploiting the photoisomerization process, we establish high-fidelity control over the nucleation processes and demonstrate reversible M ⇄ off ⇄ P tristate switching of supramolecular chirality. Finally, we show that chiral aggregates exhibit opposite chirality-induced spin selectivities with high spin-polarization rates.
