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

motivationUntargeted metabolomics, the comprehensive analysis of small molecules in biological systems, has become an invaluable tool for understanding physiology and metabolism. However, the annotation of metabolomic data is often confounded by the presence of redundant features, which can arise from e.g. multimerization, in-source fragments (ISFs), and adducts.

resultsMS1FA uniquely integrates all major annotation approaches for redundant features within a single interactive platform. It combines correlation-based grouping with reliable ISF annotation using MS2 data and operates with MS1 data only, MS2 data only, or both. Additionally, it offers a distinctive method for grouping features based on relational criteria. As the only web-based platform with these capabilities, MS1FA provides easy access and allows users to explore and annotate the feature table interactively, with options to download the results. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: MS1FA is freely accessible at https://ms1fa.helmholtz-hzi.de. The source code and data are available at https://github.com/RuibingS/MS1FA_RShiny_dashboard and are archived with the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.15118962.
