Self-assembled metal clustersomes and chirality transfer to colloidal photonic crystals.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The construction of soft and flexible materials using metallic hard synthons is expected to endow these materials with convergent properties for multiple functionalities. However, the design protocols remain underdeveloped due to limited understanding of structure-property correlations and growth preferences regarding dimensions and size. Herein, through bottom-up self-assembly of engineered atomically precise metal clusters, membranous liposomal nanoarchitectures with soft matter morphology and rigid properties are constructed. Post-modification of surface ligands introduces considerable steric effects, thereby directing self-assembly towards membranous curvature in liposomal architectures rather than crystallization. Host‒guest complexation by β-cyclodextrin enables precise regulation of their size and dispersity. Chirality can be facilely implanted to afford chiroptical properties at both ground and photoexcited states. The inherent shape-persistent and rigid properties from metal clusters confer prominent mechanical strength, with Young's moduli reaching up to 16‒20 GPa. The characteristic of combining rigidity with soft matter morphology offers opportunities to explore application potentials in colloidal photonic crystals, particularly those with modulated structural colors. Compared with traditional liposomes and polymersomes, metal clustersomes could provide expanded functionalities.
