(Macro)Molecular Crowding Effects Beyond Volume Exclusion.
Review in Sub-cellular biochemistry, 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
Macromolecular crowding affects many areas, including protein folding, binding of small molecules, enzymatic activity, interaction with nucleic acids, protein aggregation, and protein-protein interactions. While the common belief has been that the primary impact of crowded environments on the function, structure, thermodynamics, and aggregation of a protein can be described in terms of excluded volume effects, it has now become clear that other factors, which originate from high concentrations of "inert" macromolecules in crowded solution, must be considered in order to get a clearer understanding a protein's behavior in a crowded environment. This review will highlight several important factors that arise in a crowded environment, including perturbed diffusion, viscosity, soft interactions, direct physical interactions between the crowding agents and proteins, and, most importantly, the effects of crowders on solvent properties.
