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

purposeParaquat and diquat are well-known toxic herbicides, at least responsible for hundreds of fatal poisoning events worldwide. However, the determination of diquat and paraquat in plasma and urine is very challenging because of their high polarity and double charge characteristics. In this study, we aim to develop a rapid and reliable method for the determination of paraquat and diquat in human plasma and urine by ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

methodThe chromatographic separation of paraquat and diquat was tested with different chromatographic columns and different mobile phase conditions. The mass parameters were optimized by product ions, source gas flow, cone flow, desolvation temperature, and capillary voltage. The isocratic elution mode gave rapid appearance of peak of paraquat and diquat.

resultsThe sharp peak shapes for paraquat and diquat were achieved with CORTECS

conclusionsA rapid and reliable method for the determination of paraquat and diquat was developed and applied to 387 clinical poisoning cases and 22 poisoning cases were found to be paraquat or diquat poisoning.
