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

introductionIn recent years, analytical screening methods for simultaneous detection of multivitamins have gained substantial attention to ensure quality and public confidence in dietary supplements. Even so, few analytical methods have been proposed for simultaneous analysis of multivitamin constituents due to the large divergence in chemical characteristics.

objectivesIn the present study, the objective was to develop a simple and rapid direct nano-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (DI-nano-ESI-MS/MS) method for targeted detection of water soluble vitamins, fat soluble vitamins, amino acids, royal jelly, ginkgo biloba, and ginseng in a dietary supplement. The applicability of dilute-and-shoot-based DI-nano-ESI-MS/MS to analyze the same tested compounds and their related metabolites in clinical samples was also examined.

methodsIntact urine mixed with the ionization solvent was loaded (4-μL aliquot) into a nanospray (NS) capillary of 1-μm tip diameter. The NS capillary was then fitted into an off-line ion source at a distance of 5 mm from MS aperture. The sample was directly injected by applying a voltage of 1.1 kV, producing a numerous of

resultsThe DI-nano-ESI-MS/MS method successfully identified almost all dietary supplement components, as well as a plethora of component-related metabolites in clinical samples. In addition, a new merit of the proposed method for the detection of index marker and chemical contaminants as well as subspecies identification was investigated for further quality evaluation of the dietary supplement.

conclusionsThe previous findings illustrated that DI-nano-ESI-MS/MS approach can emerge as a powerful, high throughput, and promising analytical tool for screening and accurate detection of various pharmaceuticals and ingredient in dietary supplements as well as biological fluids.
