Simultaneous determination of tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan, tryptamine, serotonin, and 5-HIAA in small volumes of mouse serum using UHPLC-ED.
Article in MethodsX, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In this paper we report a simple and efficient method for the concurrent analysis of tryptophan, 5-HTP, tryptamine, serotonin, and 5-HIAA in mouse serum using UHPLC-ED after protein precipitation and dilution. These compounds are neuroactive and are of interest in studies of mood and behavior; They are also biomarkers for the presence of neuroendocrine tumors and are used in the diagnosis of these cancers. After a brief series of validation experiments, this method was applied to serum from mouse behaviour experiments.•A convenient UHPLC method with electrochemical detection for concomitant analysis of the serotonin pathway in serum, including, for the first time, tryptamine.•The method met all performance criteria established for use in our lab and was applied in rodent experiments.
