Validation of a LC-MS/MS assay for citric acid, cysteine and oxalic acid determination and its application to explore pre-analytical sample storage.

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
Objectives: Citrate, oxalate and cystine in 24-h urine are considered to be associated with the incidence and recurrence risk of urinary stone disease (USD). An evaluation of the LC-MS/MS kit for simultaneous quantification of the three analytes was undertaken. Design: & Methods: The analytical performance of the kit was investigated based on FDA, EMA and CLSI guidelines. To promote the standardization of sample storage, this kit has been applied to perform systematic pre-analytical stability study of these analytes in urine. Results: This method was validated with good linearity with accuracy of 93.1%-104 %. Intra-day and inter-day imprecision were ≤5.55 % and 5.34 %, respectively. Recoveries of citrate, oxalate and cystine added to clinical samples were in the range of 92.0-103 %, 94.8-100 % and 99.0-107 % with CV ≤ 5.52 %. It was recommended that urine preserved with hydrochloric acid could be preferable in consideration of both reliable test results and neglected sample heterogeneity. Conclusions: This kit is suitable for measurement of citrate, oxalate and cystine for understanding the etiology of urinary stones, and the proper storage of urine samples is crucial for the correctness of the test results.
