Biomolecular assemblies through weak noncovalent interactions: Higher-order transient structures and their condensate phase.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 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
Recent data suggest that many membrane proteins spontaneously organize into spatial patterns through weak noncovalent interactions. These weak interactions are protein type-specific and underlie the formation of higher-order transient structures (HOTS), which can function as 10 to 100 nanometer-sized, transient hubs of membrane signaling. We describe the necessary conditions for HOTS assembly to occur, its thermodynamic relationship to biomolecular condensate formation, and potential roles of HOTS in biology stemming from their unique physical properties. Currently, a quantitative understanding of HOTS is limited to membrane proteins, but many observations suggest that HOTS may also be abundant in three-dimensional cellular compartments.
