Boron nitride nanotube fibers with over 1 GPa strength and 1000 °C stability for exceptional neutron shielding textiles.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Integrating boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) into robust macroscopic architectures for deep space radiation shielding remains a fundamental challenge. Here, we report continuous self-assembled all-nanotube (SAAN) fibers with an 80 wt% BNNT loading, combining tensile strength exceeding 1 GPa with extreme thermal stability from -196 to 1200 °C. These fibers originate from the thermodynamic co-assembly of BNNTs and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a lyotropic liquid crystalline mesophase. This shear-responsive dope enables cooperative reorientation and dense nanotube packing during wet-spinning. When assembled into macroscopic textiles, SAAN exhibits an exceptional thermal neutron attenuation coefficient of 2.85 mm
