Quantification of Very-Long-Chain and Branched-Chain Fatty Acids in Plasma by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Peroxisomal disorders are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders caused by impaired peroxisomal biogenesis or by defects in single peroxisomal proteins. The most common peroxisomal disorders are Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs), due to pathogenic variants in one of the 13 PEX genes, and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy/adrenomyeloneuropathy (X-ALD/AMN), due to pathogenic variants in ATP-binding cassette transporter type D1 (ABCD1) gene. Peroxisomes perform multiple essential cellular functions, including β-oxidation of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), pristanic acid and some bile acid intermediates, and α-oxidation of phytanic acid. In most patients, abnormal levels of VLCFAs and/or branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs, e.g., phytanic and pristanic acids) are present; hence, measuring these analytes is critical when suspecting a peroxisomal disorder. This chapter describes a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to quantify VLCFAs and BCFAs in plasma or serum for the diagnosis of peroxisomal disorders. The method consists of an acid hydrolysis step to release the fatty acids from their coenzyme A esters followed by derivatization using oxalyl chloride, dimethylaminoethanol, and then methyl iodide. The trimethyl-amino-ethyl (TMAE) iodide ester derivatives are analyzed using UPLC-MS/MS in positive electrospray ionization and multiple reaction-monitoring (MRM) mode. Quantitation is performed using a five-point calibration curve after normalizing with deuterated internal standards.
