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

We present a direct injection mass spectrometry (DI-MS) platform that accurately, precisely, and quickly quantitates global levels of DNA cytidine methylation (5 mC) and hydroxymethylation (5hmC). Our platform combines an Advion TriVersa NanoMate coupled online to a Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos. Following digestion to nucleosides, the DNA samples are analyzed at the rate of <1 min per injection with comparable detection limits of 0.63 ng/μL and 0.31 ng/μL, respectively. In contrast, the detection limits for 5 mC and 5hmC in state-of-art nano liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to online mass spectrometry (nLC-MS) are notably different (0.04 ng/μL and 2.5 ng/μL, respectively). The high sensitivity of DI-MS is achieved by optimizing sample buffer composition, the source fragmentation energy, and the radio frequency of the instrument ion funnel. DI-MS accurately reports the relative abundance of 5 mC and 5hmC over a range of 1%-7% (R
