Self-assembled cell-scale containers made from DNA origami membranes.
Article in Nature materials, 2026. 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
Biological compartmentalization creates and controls localized environments to ensure that chemical processes are efficient, thus enabling life's complexity and functionality. Biological systems use crystalline protein cages for nanoscale compartments, whereas larger, dynamic structures, such as vesicles and cell membranes, are formed from lipid bilayers. Although membrane-based approaches have prevailed in bottom-up synthetic biology, DNA and protein nanotechnology has focused on designing rigid cage assemblies. Here we report on the self-assembly of radially symmetric DNA origami subunits that are inspired by the structure and interactions of lipids. The formed DNA origami monolayer membranes can be readily programmed to form vesicles or hollow tubes with diameters ranging from 100 nm to over 1 μm. These DNA origami membranes represent an approach for compartmentalization that opens possibilities in bottom-up biology and cell-scale soft robotics.
