Nanoscale protein clustering modulates the input-output response of cellular signalling pathways.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
A key function of the plasma membrane is regulating signal transduction. Proteins involved in the transduction process play a signal-processing role; mapping an input (e.g. number of engaged receptors) to an output (e.g. level of downstream phosphorylation). In many cases, a digital mapping is desirable, i.e. that a cell activates or responds fully once a set input threshold is surpassed. It is hypothesised that the nanoscale organisation of proteins, such as their clustering, modulates this behaviour by altering the frequency of protein-protein interactions. Here, we develop a generalised simulator for dynamic molecular clustering built on agent-based modelling. We show that the clustering properties (e.g. size of clusters, percentage of monomers) tunes the cellular response. This work paves the way for designing potential therapeutic interventions that alter the nanoscale patterning of molecules on the cell surface to influence cell behaviour.
