Ligand-Binding Free Energy Simulations of Membrane Proteins.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2026. 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
Molecular modeling and simulations of biomolecular systems are crucial for understanding their structure, dynamics, and function. They also play a key role in drug discovery and design, since protein-ligand affinity is a critical factor in developing new drugs. This chapter primarily focuses on computational methods for predicting ligand-binding affinity in membrane proteins. It highlights the major challenges associated with calculating ligand affinities in membrane protein environments and discusses potential solutions. Various membrane protein systems are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of both geometric and alchemical approaches in accurately estimating ligand-binding affinities. Free energy methods such as free energy perturbation (FEP), thermodynamic integration (TI), the alchemical transfer method (AToM), umbrella sampling (US), and weighted ensemble (WE) have been successfully applied to GPCRs, ion channels, and transporters, with representative examples discussed throughout the chapter.
