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

Since its introduction, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) has been widely used for the mass analysis of biomolecules. The "soft ionization" of MALDI enables accurate mass determination of intact biomolecules. However, the ionization and desorption processes of MALDI are not adequately soft as many labile biomolecules, such as glycoconjugates containing sialic acid or the sulfate functional group, easily dissociate into fragments and sometimes, no intact molecules are observed. In this study, we compared the conventional matrix of MALDI, namely 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, to various soft matrices of MALDI-specifically, 5-methoxysalicylic acid, diamond nanoparticle trilayers, HgTe nanostructures, ionic liquid, and droplets of frozen solutions-by using three labile glycoconjugates as analytes: gangliosides, heparin, and pullulan. We demonstrated that droplets of frozen solution are the softest matrices for gangliosides and heparin. In particular, droplets of frozen solution do not generate fragments for gangliosides and can be used to determine the relative abundance of various gangliosides, whereas ionic liquid 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid butylamine is the most suitable matrix for pullulan mass analysis.
