MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging: A Potential Game-Changer in a Modern Microbiology.
Review in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Nowadays, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is routinely implemented as the reference method for the swift and straightforward identification of microorganisms. However, this method is not flawless and there is a need to upgrade the current methodology in order to free the routine lab from incubation time and shift from a culture-dependent to an even faster independent culture system. Over the last two decades, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) gained tremendous popularity in life sciences, including microbiology, due to its ability to simultaneously detect biomolecules, as well as their spatial distribution, in complex samples. Through this literature review, we summarize the latest applications of MALDI-MSI in microbiology. In addition, we discuss the challenges and avenues of exploration for applying MSI to solve current MALDI-TOF MS limits in routine and research laboratories.
