Ligand Reorganization for End-Point Binding Free Energy Calculations: Identifying Preferred Poses of Fentanyls in the μ Opioid Receptor.
Article in Journal of chemical theory and computation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We have developed a method that uses energy landscapes of unbound and bound ligands to compute reorganization free energies for end-point binding free-energy calculations. The method is applied to our previous simulations of fentanyl derivatives bound to the μ opioid receptor in different orientations. Whereas the mean interaction energy provides an ambiguous ranking of binding poses, interaction entropy and ligand reorganization strongly penalize geometric decoys such that native poses observed in CryoEM structures are best ranked. The binding pose of fentanyl is driven by the interaction entropy. Binding of (3
