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

A lipidome comprises thousands of lipid species, many of which are isomers and isobars. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), although widely used for lipidomic profiling, faces challenges in differentiating lipid isomers. Herein, we address this issue by leveraging the orthogonal separation capabilities of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS). We further integrate isomer-resolved MS/MS methods onto HILIC-TIMS, which enable pinpointing double bond locations in phospholipids and sn-positions in phosphatidylcholine. This system profiles phospholipids at multiple structural levels with short analysis time (<10 min per LC run), high sensitivity (nM detection limit), and wide coverage, while data analysis is streamlined using a home-developed software, LipidNovelist. Notably, compared to our previous report, the system doubles the coverage of phospholipids in bovine liver and reveals uncanonical desaturation pathways in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Relative quantitation of the double bond location isomers of phospholipids and the sn-position isomers of phosphatidylcholine enables the phenotyping of human bladder cancer tissue relative to normal control, which would be otherwise indistinguishable by traditional profiling methods. Our research offers a comprehensive solution for lipidomic profiling and highlights the critical role of isomer analysis in studying lipid metabolism in both healthy and diseased states.
