Comparative investigation of uridine and Hachimoji RNA base interaction with single-walled carbon nanotube.
Article in Journal of molecular modeling, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextSingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising platforms for biosensing because their electronic properties are sensitive to molecular adsorption. While canonical nucleic acid bases have been extensively studied, little is known about how synthetic Hachimoji bases interact with nanotube surfaces. In this study, we investigate the adsorption of uridine (rU) and the Hachimoji base S (rS) on a finite (5,5) SWCNT fragment. The study aims to compare binding strength and electronic effects between canonical and synthetic bases within a finite gas-phase SWCNT model and to examine whether the two bases show distinguishable local adsorption behavior.
methodsAll geometries of the isolated molecules and the SWCNT+rU and SWCNT+rS complexes were fully optimized using density functional theory (DFT) with the PBEh-3c composite method in ORCA. The adsorption complexes were analyzed on an 8 Å hydrogen-terminated (5,5) SWCNT fragment, with the bases initially placed approximately parallel to the nanotube sidewall at ~ 3.1 Å. HOMO-LUMO gaps were calculated for each system: rU (~ 7.5 eV), rS (~ 7.7 eV), SWCNT (~ 3.21 eV), SWCNT + rU (~ 3.19 eV), and SWCNT + rS (~ 3.20 eV). Interaction energies of the optimized complexes were computed using the supermolecule approach, yielding - 0.43364 eV for SWCNT+rU and - 0.55405 eV for SWCNT + rS. Mulliken population analysis was performed to quantify fragment charge redistribution, showing only minor net charge transfer.
