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

LC-MS/MS is a major analytical platform for metabolomics, which has become a recent hotspot in the research fields of life and environmental sciences. By contrast, structure elucidation of small molecules based on LC-MS/MS data remains a major challenge in the chemical and biological interpretation of untargeted metabolomics datasets. In recent years, several strategies for structure elucidation using LC-MS/MS data from complex biological samples have been proposed, these strategies can be simply categorized into two types, one based on structure annotation of mass spectra and for the other on retention time prediction. These strategies have helped many scientists conduct research in metabolite-related fields and are indispensable for the development of future tools. Here, we summarized the characteristics of the current tools and strategies for structure elucidation of small molecules based on LC-MS/MS data, and further discussed the directions and perspectives to improve the power of the tools or strategies for structure elucidation.
