Evidence of nerve agent VX exposure in rat plasma by detection of albumin-adducts in vitro and in vivo.
Article in Archives of toxicology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
VX is a highly toxic organophosphorus nerve agent that reacts with a variety of endogenous proteins such as serum albumin under formation of adducts that can be targeted by analytical methods for biomedical verification of exposure. Albumin is phosphonylated by the ethyl methylphosphonic acid moiety (EMP) of VX at various tyrosine residues. Additionally, the released leaving group of VX, 2-(diisopropylamino)ethanethiol (DPAET), may react with cysteine residues in diverse proteins. We developed and validated a microbore liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (µLC-ESI MS/HR MS) method enabling simultaneous detection of three albumin-derived biomarkers for the analysis of rat plasma. After pronase-catalyzed cleavage of rat plasma proteins single phosphonylated tyrosine residues (Tyr-EMP), the Cys
