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

backgroundAmino acids (AAs) and acylcarnitines play a key role in metabolic disease and can be used as biomarkers of various diseases such as malignancies, type 2 diabetes (T2D), insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases, therefore, designing an accurate and simple laboratory method that simultaneously measure both groups of substances, could improve the process of analytes quantification. In this research, a flow injection tandem mass spectrometry (FI-MS/MS) method for simultaneous measurement of AAs and acylcarnitines in addition to results of validation is explained.

methodsSamples were mixed with internal standards and after derivatization (with butanolic-HCL), AAs, and acylcarnitines were quantified by tandem mass spectrometry (SCIEX API 3200)

resultsPerformance evaluation of the method demonstrated adequate results. The mean of estimated inter-assay precision (reported as a coefficient variation) for AAs and acylcarnitines were less than 8.7% and 12.3%, the estimated mean bias was below 8.8% and 10.2% respectively. LOD of analytes ranged between 0.6-10 μmol per liter (μmol/L) for AAs and 0.02-1 μmol/L for acylcarnitines. LOQ analytes showed a range of 2-25 μmol/L and 0.05-5 μmol/L for AAs and carnitine/acylcarnitines respectively. In diabetic patients sample analysis, a significant increase in acylcarnitines (C2, C4, C5DC, C6, C8, C10, C14) and citrulline with a significant decrease in valine were seen in patients with severely increased albuminuria.

conclusionFI-MS/MS method with pre-injection derivatization with butanolic-HCL can be used for concurrent measurement of AAs and carnitine/acylcarnitines in a short time and it satisfies the analytical performance requirements. This method is applied for AAs and carnitine/acylcarnitines measurement in patient with T2DM and results show some of the acylcarnitines and AAs can be involved in diabetic nephropathy development.
