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

Accurate, traceable quantification of ribonucleotide or deoxyribonucleotide oligomers is achievable using acid hydrolysis and isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ID-MS). In this work, formic acid hydrolysis is demonstrated to generate stoichiometric release of nucleobases from intact oligonucleotides, which then can be measured by ID-MS, facilitating true and precise absolute quantification of RNA, short linearized DNA, or genomic DNA. Surrogate nucleobases are quantified with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) workflow, using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Nucleobases were chromatographically resolved using a novel cation-exchange separation, incorporating a pH gradient. Trueness of this quantitative assay is estimated from agreement among the surrogate nucleobases and by comparison to concentrations provided for commercial materials or Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Comparable concentration estimates using NanoDrop spectrophotometry or established from droplet-digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) techniques agree well with the results. Acid hydrolysis-ID-LC-MS/MS provides excellent quantitative selectivity and accuracy while enabling traceability to mass unit. Additionally, this approach can be uniquely useful for quantifying modified nucleobases or mixtures.
