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

A high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer is used for characterizing the fragmentation of chlorophyll-a. Three tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques, including electron-induced dissociation (EID), collisionally activated dissociation (CAD), and infrared mutiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) are applied to the singly protonated chlorophyll-a. Some previously unpublished fragments are identified unambiguously by utilizing high resolution and accurate mass value provided by the FTICR mass spectrometer. According to this research, the two long aliphatic side chains are shown to be the most labile parts, and favorable cleavage sites are proposed. Even though similar fragmentation patterns are generated by all three methods, there are much more abundant peaks in EID and IRMPD spectra. The similarities and differences are discussed in detail. Comparatively, cleavage leading to odd electron species and H(•) loss both seem more common in EID experiments. Extensive loss of small side groups (e.g., methyl and ethyl) next to the macrocyclic ring was observed. Coupling the high performance FTICR mass spectrometer with contemporary MS/MS techniques, especially IRMPD and EID, proved to be very promising for the structural characterization of chlorophyll, which is also suitable for the rapid and accurate structural investigation of other singly charged porphyrinic compounds.
