A Nanotube Injector for Cytoplasmic Transfer and Enhanced Mitochondrial Function.
Article in Small science, 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
The intercellular transportation of molecules is crucial for regulating cell communication and function. However, the existing techniques for molecule transfer across cell barriers often cause cellular damage or have low transfer efficiencies. To address these limitations, this study proposes an innovative nanotube membrane-based injector (nanoinjector) system capable of extracting diverse cytoplasmic molecules from source cells and transferring them to target cells. The developed system demonstrates high efficiency, with over 95% viability and 90% transfer efficiency. Additionally, it enables mitochondrial transfer, which enhances cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production by up to 25% within 24 h. This study explores the impact of intracellular content transport, enabled by this new tool, on cellular activities, with promising implications for cell surgery and therapy.
