Self-assembly of 3D Ternary Crystals Consisting of Biological and Synthetic Nanoparticles.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 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
Inorganic nanoparticles can be assembled into ordered superlattices, where their collective properties lead to new optical, magnetic, or catalytic behavior. Protein cages, known for their highly symmetric and uniform structures as well as propensity for crystallization, can bind or encapsulate nanoparticles and serve as self-assembly templates, facilitating the formation of ordered superlattices. While binary systems based on protein cages have been successfully demonstrated, examples of ternary crystals incorporating protein cages remain largely unexplored. Here, we study the electrostatic self-assembly of three-component nanoparticle arrays composed of two protein cages: cowpea chlorotic mottle virus and ferritin as well as synthetic positively charged gold nanoparticles. We demonstrate that they can self-sort into binary crystals or form ternary complexes by tuning the particle interactions through the solution ionic strength. The cationic gold particles play a crucial role in modulating the crystallization process through electrostatic interactions, significantly impacting the formation of the nanoparticle array.
