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

In this work we present the application of 3D-printing for the miniaturization and functionalization of an ion source for (portable) mass spectrometry (MS). Two versions of a 3D-printed cartridge for paper spray ionization (PSI) are demonstrated, assessed, and compared. We first focus on the use of 3D-printing to enable the integration of an embedded electrostatic lens and a manifold for internal sheath gas distribution and delivery. Cartridges with and without a sheath gas manifold and an electrostatic lens are compared with respect to analytical performance and operational flexibility. The sensitivity and limit of detection are improved in the cartridge with an electrostatic lens and sheath gas manifold compared to the cartridge without (15% and over 6.5× smaller, respectively). The use of these focusing elements also improved the average spray stability. Furthermore, the range of potentials required for PSI was lower, and the distance to the MS orifice over which spray could be obtained was larger. Importantly, both setups allowed quantification of a model drug in the ng/mL range with single-stage MS, after correction for spray instability. Finally, we believe that this work is an example of the impact that 3D-printing will have on the future of analytical device fabrication, miniaturization, and functionalization.
