1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Co-assembly and self-sorting in multicomponent systems are typically treated as mutually exclusive outcomes. Here, we show that this distinction is incomplete. Using enantiomeric peptide nanotubes, we demonstrate that a single co-assembled structure forms only at an equimolar composition, yet remains internally self-sorted into compositionally distinct domains. Contrast-matched neutron scattering directly reveals this segregation and shows that the co-assembled structures adopt layered architectures rather than simple molecular-level mixing. These results establish that co-assembly and self-sorting can coexist within a single supramolecular object across length scales, providing a general framework for understanding and controlling multicomponent self-assembly.
