1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sphingoid bases, such as unsaturated sphingosine (So) and its corresponding dihydro-saturated species sphinganine (Sa), are present in cell samples in low abundance. This fact combined with their low-to-moderate electrospray ionization (ESI) potential, compared to other sphingolipids such as sphingomyelins, limits their detection and quantitation by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS(2)). To enhance the ESI efficiency of sphingoid bases, a novel procedure to generate stably derivatized analytes that enhance the LC-MS(2) detection of sphingoid bases when analyzed using LC-MS(2) was developed. In this method, a ruthenium complex, [4-(N-succimidyloxycarbonyl propyl)-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine] bis(2,2'-bipyridine) Ru(II) dihexafluorophosphate, is added directly to a cell extract. This complex reacts with and covalently binds to an amino group within the sphingoid bases. The dicationic nature of the ruthenium ion enhances the compound's ionization efficiency resulting in increased LC-MS(2) signals for the derivatized sphingoid bases. Consequently, the detection and quantitation of sphingoid bases are greatly improved.
