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 method to correct for the effect of ion energy on charge measurements of individual ions trapped and weighed with charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) is demonstrated. Ions with different energies induce different signal patterns inside an electrostatic ion trap. The sum of the amplitudes of the fundamental and second harmonic frequencies in the Fourier transform of the induced signal, which has been used to obtain the ion charge, depends on both ion energy and charge. The amplitudes of the fundamental frequencies of ions increase over time as ions lose energy by collisions with background gas and solvent loss from larger ions. Model ion signals are simulated with the same time-domain amplitude at different energies and frequencies and the resulting fundamental frequency amplitudes are used to normalize real ion signals for energy and frequency effects. The fundamental frequency amplitude decreases dramatically below 20 kHz and increases by ~ 17% from the highest energy to lowest energy that is stable with a given trap potential at all frequencies. Normalizing the fundamental frequency amplitude with the modeled amplitudes removes the systematic changes in the charge measurement of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and other ions and makes it possible to signal average the amplitude over long times, which reduces the charge uncertainty to 0.04% for a PEG ion for a 500-ms measurement. This method improves charge measurement accuracy and uncertainty, which are important for high-accuracy mass measurement with CDMS. Graphical abstract ᅟ.
