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

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI)-based spatially resolved metabolomics addresses the limitations inherent in traditional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics, particularly the loss of spatial context within heterogeneous tissues. MSI not only enhances our understanding of disease aetiology but also aids in the identification of biomarkers and the assessment of drug toxicity and therapeutic efficacy by converting invisible metabolites and biological networks into visually rendered image data. In this comprehensive review, we illuminate the key advancements in MSI-driven spatially resolved metabolomics over the past few years. We first outline recent innovations in preprocessing methodologies and MSI instrumentation that improve the sensitivity and comprehensiveness of metabolite detection. We then delve into the progress made in functional visualization techniques, which enhance the precision of metabolite identification and annotation. Ultimately, we discuss the significant potential applications of spatially resolved metabolomics technology in translational medicine and drug development, offering new perspectives for future research and clinical translation. HIGHLIGHTS: MSI-driven spatial metabolomics preserves metabolite spatial information, enhancing disease analysis and biomarker discovery. Advances in MSI technology improve detection sensitivity and accuracy, expanding bioanalytical applications. Enhanced visualization techniques refine metabolite identification and spatial distribution analysis. Integration of MSI with AI promises to advance precision medicine and accelerate drug development.
