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 the invention of soft ionization methods, in particular electrospray ionization (ESI), mass spectrometry (MS) has become the method of choice for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of lipids from complex samples. A large number of lipids can be readily detected from a single mass spectrum free from molecular fragmentation that may complicate spectral interpretation. This has been the driving force for MS to play a predominant role in lipidomics. However, elucidation of the detailed lipid structures, especially the location of carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), remains challenging for MS-based lipid analysis workflows. Here we describe the coupling of photochemical derivatization of C=C via Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to identify C=C locations in unsaturated lipids and quantify lipid C=C location isomers. The PB reaction can be conducted online in ~30 s, which transforms a C=C into the oxetane ring structure. Subjecting PB products of lipids to MS/MS leads to the formation of abundant C=C-specific fragment ions upon low energy collision-induced dissociation.
