Effects of pH on opioid receptor activation and implications for drug design.
Review in Biophysical journal, 2024. 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
G-protein-coupled receptors are integral membrane proteins that transduce chemical signals from the extracellular matrix into the cell. Traditional drug design has considered ligand-receptor interactions only under normal conditions. However, studies on opioids indicate that such interactions are very different in diseased tissues. In such microenvironments, protons play an important role in structural and functional alterations of both ligands and receptors. The pertinent literature strongly suggests that future drug design should take these aspects into account in order to reduce adverse side effects while preserving desired effects of novel compounds.
