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 novel microfluidic chromatography device coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was utilized for the multiplex analysis of 5 steroids (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, progesterone, cortisol, cortisone) in human serum. The use of microfluidics allowed for reduction of the chromatographic flow rate to 3μl/min with overall method run times comparable to standard flow LC-MS/MS methods reported in the literature, corresponding to a 150 fold decrease in solvent consumption. Furthermore, a simple sample preparation protocol was employed requiring injection of only 0.5μl of sample, corresponding to a 100-400 fold increase in on-column sensitivity as compared to published standard flow assays. The measured LOQ for both testosterone and progesterone was 0.4ng/mL, representing an improvement over reported literature values obtained by standard flow methods employing comparable sample preparation and large injection volumes. The LOQs for cortisol (1.9ng/mL), cortisone (0.3ng/mL), and dihydrotestosterone (1.4ng/mL) were all within a biologically relevant range. A comparison of clinical serum samples was performed for the analysis of testosterone using this microfluidic LC-MS/MS assay and the Beckman Access II automated antibody-based measurement system. The immunoassay results were systematically higher due to matrix interference which was easily resolved with the increased chromatographic resolution obtained in the microflow LC-MS/MS assay.
