IgE Occupancy and Antigen Valency Cooperate to Control FcεRI Aggregation Geometry and Signaling Efficiency.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The crosslinking of IgE-bound FcεRI by multivalent allergens initiates mast cell and basophil signaling underlying Type 1 allergy. Yet, how allergen properties and IgE occupancy impact receptor aggregation and downstream signaling remains unclear. We used Phl p 1-specific IgE and recombinant fusion proteins presenting a Phl p 1-derived peptide in defined valencies and positions (MB1N, MB1N1C, MB2N, and MB4N) to probe antigen-dependent signaling. Tetravalent MB4N evoked stronger degranulation and Ca2+ response than bivalent antigens MB1N1C and MB2N. MB4N was also capable of signaling at low IgE occupancy and in Lyn-deficient cells. Monte Carlo simulations predicted that MB4N forms larger, complex receptor aggregates, while MB1N1C and MB2N produce linear chains. Consistently, the addition of MB4N showed larger aggregates by electron microscopy and slower mobility by single-particle tracking, compared to bivalent antigens. Thus, allergen valency and epitope spatial arrangement dictate FcεRI aggregate organization and subsequent effector cell activation.
