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

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a widely used quantitative method in small-molecule pharmacokinetic sample analysis. The linear dynamic range of mass analyzers, typically spanning 3 orders of magnitude, is usually insufficient for this purpose. Utilization of multiple isotopologues has been proposed as a compelling approach to expand the linear dynamic range of LC-MS/MS assays, particularly when the detector is saturated. Isotopologues are a statistical mixture of molecules of the same compound but of different exact masses due to the presence of natural chemical isotopes. While the concept of isotopologues is widely recognized in large-molecule bioanalysis and small-molecule metabolite profiling, it has not been commonly implemented in small-molecule targeted quantification. To increase the awareness of the value of isotopologues in small-molecule LC-MS/MS analysis, this minireview provides the basis of isotopologue distribution in MS/MS and summarizes published studies as well as our own experience in utilizing multiple isotopologues to expand the linear dynamic range of small-molecule LC-MS/MS assays. Considering that utilizing natural isotopologue transitions in the LC-MS/MS assays represents an easy, straightforward, and robust way to expand the linear dynamic range, we believe this method deserves wide application in small-molecule pharmacokinetic sample analysis and can particularly benefit people working in pharmacokinetic labs as well as the GLP bioanalytical labs in pharmaceutical industry.
