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

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS, has been widely used in industry and research since its introduction in the mid-1990s. Previously described quantitation methods have been advanced to include a gas standard for a more robust and repeatable analytical performance. The details of this approach to calculate the concentrations from ion-molecule reaction kinetics based on reaction times and instrument calibration functions determined from known concentrations in the standard mix are discussed. Important practical issues such as the overlap of product ions are outlined, and best-practice approaches are presented to enable them to be addressed during method development. This review provides a fundamental basis for a plethora of studies in broad application areas that are possible with SIFT-MS instruments.
