Resolution and Quantitation of Mercapturic Acids Derived from Crotonaldehyde, Methacrolein, and Methyl Vinyl Ketone in the Urine of Smokers and Nonsmokers.
Article in Chemical research in toxicology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Using improved HPLC analysis conditions, we report the separation of three isomers of mercapturic acid conjugates previously assigned in the literature only to 3-hydroxy-1-methylpropylmercapturic acid (HMPMA-1), a human urinary metabolite of crotonaldehyde. The new conditions, employing a biphenyl column cooled to 5 °C and eluted with a gradient of formic acid, acetonitrile, and methanol, allow the analysis of human urinary mercapturic acids derived not only from crotonaldehyde but also from its isomers methacrolein (3-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl mercapturic acid, HMPMA-2) and methyl vinyl ketone (3-hydroxy-3-methylpropyl mercapturic acid, HMPMA-3). The mercapturic acids were detected and quantified by LC-ESI-MS/MS using the corresponding stable isotope labeled mercapturic acids as internal standards. The analysis was validated for accuracy and precision and applied to urine samples collected from cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. Smokers had significantly higher levels of all three mercapturic acids than did nonsmokers. The results demonstrated that HMPMA-3 from methyl vinyl ketone comprised the major portion of the peaks previously ascribed in multiple studies to HMPMA-1. HMPMA-1 had concentrations intermediate between those of HMPMA-2 and HMPMA-3 in both smokers and nonsmokers. This study reports the first quantitation of HMPMA-2 and HMPMA-3 in human urine. The observation of higher levels of HMPMA-3 than in the other two mercapturic acids suggests a previously unrecognized potential significance of methyl vinyl ketone as a toxicant in smokers and nonsmokers.
