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

In recent years, liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has emerged as the main technology to measure the whole of small molecules (the metabolome) in a diversity of matrices. Within the field of computational metabolomics, significant efforts have been made in the development of tools to (pre)process untargeted LC-MS data. However, tools that circumvent the time-consuming, manual preprocessing of targeted LC-MS data with vendor-specific software remain sparse. We therefore present TARDIS, an open-source R package for the analysis of targeted LC-MS metabolomics and lipidomics data. Both established (area under the curve, maximum intensity and points over the peak) and recently developed (custom signal-to-noise ratio and bell-curve similarity) quality metrics were included to offer increased efficiency of peak quality evaluation. The robustness of TARDIS' peak integration was demonstrated through a quantitative comparison to state-of-the-art vendor software. To this end, applicability at a large scale (
