Simultaneous evaluation of HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activities by electrospray tandem MS.
Article in Lipids, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Simultaneous evaluation of HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activities by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ES-MS-MS) was performed. The assay was based on the measurement of mevalonolactone (MVL) and 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol (7alpha-OHC) produced by the incubation of HMG-CoA with hepatic microsomes in the presence of NADPH and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Following extraction and purification using a cyanopropyl cartridge, MVL and 7alpha-OHC were analyzed, without derivatization, by ES-MS-MS. The analysis was achieved in 5 min. Calibration curves were made for MVL and 7alpha-OHC, and were linear from 0 to 100 microg. The recovery was >97%. The procedure was validated under similar calibration and recovery experiments, by measuring the above mentioned products as dimethylethylsilyl ether derivatives using the classical technique of GC-MS. Data obtained by ES-MS-MS and GC-MS showed a good correlation, with no significant differences. ES-MS-MS is a simple and reliable method for the evaluation of HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activities in liver microsomal preparations.
