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

Sphingomyelin (SM) and ceramide-phosphoethanolamines (cer-PEs) are related lipids present in mammals and insects, respectively. Owing to the critical roles that cer-PEs play in eukaryotic cellular function, there is a need to develop methods that provide accurate quantitation of these compounds. Results obtained in this study demonstrate that Drosophila contains cer-PEs with unsaturated sphingoid base cores as well as low levels of cer-PEs that possess saturated sphingoid base cores. Specifically, the method developed in this study enabled the quantitation of picogram amounts of cer-PE containing both unsaturated d14:1(Delta4) and d16:1(Delta4) and saturated d14:0 sphingoid base cores. Using this method, cer-PE compounds with both saturated and unsaturated sphingoid base cores were initially identified by neutral loss scanning, followed by quantitation using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) scans. The SRM scans measured a product ion originating from the sphingoid base backbone, rather than from the head group, increasing the specificity and sensitivity of the quantitation measurement.
