Seeing and sensing single G protein-coupled receptors by atomic force microscopy.
Review in Current opinion in cell biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) relay extracellular information across cell membranes through a continuum of conformations that are not always captured in structures. Hence, complementary approaches are required to quantify the physical and chemical properties of the dynamic conformations linking to GPCR function. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based high-resolution imaging and force spectroscopy are unique methods to scrutinize GPCRs and to sense their interactions. Here, we exemplify recent AFM-based applications to directly observe the supramolecular assembly of GPCRs in native membranes, to measure the ligand-binding free-energy landscape, and how interactions modulate the structural properties of GPCRs. Common trends in GPCR function are beginning to emerge. We envision that technical developments in combining AFM with superresolution fluorescence imaging will provide insights into how cellular states modulate GPCRs and vice versa.
