Binding of Soluble Ligands to Membrane Receptors: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry. B, 2025. 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 binding of membrane receptors to their ligands anchored in an apposing membrane mediates such biological processes as cell adhesion and signaling, and is known to be determined not only by direct receptor-ligand interactions but also by such factors as flexibility and thermal fluctuations of the apposing membranes. The binding of soluble ligands to membrane receptors initiates various cellular processes; however, to the best of our knowledge, its dependence on membrane properties has not been studied. Here, we employed molecular dynamics simulations to fill in this knowledge gap. Our simulations demonstrate that, in the absence of specific lipid-protein interactions and clustering of membrane receptors, the equilibrium and kinetic rate constants for the binding of soluble ligands to membrane receptors are determined almost entirely by direct receptor-ligand interactions and are practically unaffected by the curvature, flexibility and thermal fluctuations of the membrane.
