Immobile ligands enhance FcγR-TLR2/1 crosstalk by promoting interface overlap of receptor clusters.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Innate immune cells detect pathogens through simultaneous stimulation of multiple receptors, but how cells use the receptor crosstalk to elicit context-appropriate responses is unclear. Here, we reveal that the inflammatory response of macrophages from FcγR-TLR2/1 crosstalk inversely depends on the ligand mobility within a model pathogen membrane. The mechanism is that FcγR and TLR2/1 form separate nanoclusters that interact at their interfaces during crosstalk. Less mobile ligands induce stronger interactions and more overlap between the receptor nanoclusters, leading to enhanced signaling. Different from the prevailing view that immune receptors colocalize to synergize their signaling, our results show that FcγR-TLR2/1 crosstalk occurs through interface interactions between non-colocalizing receptor nanoclusters, which are modulated by ligand mobility. This suggests a mechanism by which innate immune cells could use physical properties of ligands to fine-tune host responses.
