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

There is immense cellular and molecular heterogeneity in biological systems. Here, we demonstrate the utility of integrating an inverted light microscope with an ambient ionization source, nanospray electrospray desorption ionization, attached to a high-resolution mass spectrometer to characterize the molecular composition of mouse spinal cords. We detected a broad range of molecules, including peptides and proteins, as well as metabolites such as lipids, sugars, and other small molecules, including S-adenosyl methionine and glutathione, through top-down MS. Top-down analysis revealed variation in the expression of Hb, including the transition from fetal to adult Hb and heterogeneity in Hb subunits consistent with the genetic diversity of the mouse models. Similarly, temporal changes to actin-sequestering proteins β-thymosins during development were observed. These results demonstrate that interfacing microscopy with ambient ionization provides the means to perform targeted in situ ambient top-down mass spectral analysis to study the pattern of proteins, lipids, and sugars in biologically heterogeneous samples.
