Is there a common allosteric binding site for G-protein coupled receptors?
Article in Journal of computer-aided molecular design, 2022. 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
Targeting the allosteric sites on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) for drug discovery is attracting increased interest. Given a GPCR target, identifying the allosteric binding sites in it remains a challenge. Previous works from our and other labs suggest the intracellular region below the middle of the transmembrane (TM) domain that spatially overlaps with the G-protein binding site could contain a common allosteric site for all GPCRs. We performed several bioinformatics analyses on this site for more than 100 representative human GPCR structures. Results of the studies confirmed that the proposed region contains an allosteric site that is druggable for 89% of the GPCRs and is not 100% identical between a GPCR and its most similar homolog for 94% of the GPCRs. The physico-chemical properties and amino acid composition of this site vary among and within GPCR classes. Since this proposed region occupies the space existing in all GPCRs of known structure, it could represent a common host of an allosteric site for all GPCRs that can be targeted for structure-based allosteric drug design.
