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

The implementation of an aerodynamic mechanism to improve ion sampling between nanoelectrospray (n-ESI) and FAIMS was recently reported for proteomic analyses. This investigation explores the new FAIMS interface for small molecule analysis at high liquid flow rates and includes an examination of key differences in ionization between heated-ESI (HESI) and n-ESI. The sheath gas, critical for desolvation with HESI, affects FAIMS operation as higher FAIMS gas flow rates are required to achieve sufficient desolvation. Gas flow rate experiments also uncovered m/z discrimination with the conventional design as larger (slower moving) m/z ions experienced larger signal intensity losses than smaller m/z ions due to the desolvation gas flow having a greater drag effect on slower moving ions. The modified inlet in new FAIMS dampens the gas drag, making the HESI source more amenable as less m/z bias and significantly lower %RSD values were observed. Furthermore, a larger radius inner electrode in new FAIMS enables significantly higher E/N (electric field/number gas density) to be achieved using the existing waveform generator. Thus, new FAIMS signal intensities using only nitrogen improved 1.25- to 2-fold compared with the conventional design and 50% helium. Adding helium to the new FAIMS gave no significant improvements. The larger inner electrode also decreased ion focusing capabilities, and the effect on peak separation and ion intensity was examined in detail. The peak capacity of new FAIMS was approximately double that of conventional FAIMS; separation of seven low m/z ions gave a peak capacity of 37.7 using the gas additive 2-propanol.
