Carotenoids: Distribution, Function in Nature, and Analysis Using LC-Photodiode Array Detector (DAD)-MS and MS/MS System.
Article in Mass spectrometry (Tokyo, Japan), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Carotenoids are tetraterpene pigments that are present in photosynthetic bacteria, some species of archaea and fungi, algae, plants, and animals. Carotenoids are essential pigments in photosynthetic organs along with chlorophylls. Carotenoids also act as photo-protectors, antioxidants, color attractants, and precursors of plant hormones in plants. Carotenoids in animals play important roles, such as precursors of vitamin A, photo-protectors, antioxidants, enhancers of immunity, and contributors to reproduction. More than 850 kinds of carotenoids are present in nature. The structures are similar and all of them are labile. Analysis of natural carotenoids requires the establishment of reliable methods for analyzing them. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MS/MS) coupled with photodiode array detector (DAD) is an important tool for analysis of natural carotenoids. Electrospray ionization and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization are commonly used for ionization of LC-MS of carotenoids. MS and MS/MS provide not only molecular weight information but also some structural information on carotenoids. Ultraviolet-visible spectra from DAD provide information on chromophore systems, which cannot be provided by MS spectral data. In the present review, I report the structural diversity and function of natural carotenoids, and also describe the techniques for analysis of natural carotenoids using the LC-DAD-MS and MS/MS system.
