Use of Diagnostic Ions for the Detection of Fentanyl Analogs in Human Matrices by LC-QTOF.
Article in Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
To combat the ongoing opioid epidemic, our laboratory has developed and evaluated an approach to detect fentanyl analogs in urine and plasma by screening LC-QTOF MS/MS spectra for ions that are diagnostic of the core fentanyl structure. MS/MS data from a training set of 142 fentanyl analogs were used to select the four product ions and six neutral losses that together provided the most complete coverage (97.2%) of the training set compounds. Furthermore, using the diagnostic ion screen against a set of 49 fentanyl analogs not in the training set resulted in 95.9% coverage of those compounds. With this approach, lower reportable limits for fentanyl and a subset of fentanyl-related compounds range from 0.25 to 2.5 ng/mL in urine and 0.5 to 5.0 ng/mL in plasma. This innovative processing method was applied to evaluate simulated exposure samples of remifentanil and carfentanil in water and their metabolites remifentanil acid and norcarfentanil in urine. This flexible approach enables a way to detect emerging fentanyl analogs in clinical samples.
