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

introductionIn metabolic profiling studies the structural characterisation of lipids requires the identification of the head group, carbon number and the position(s) of carbon-carbon double bonds (C = C). Locating the position of double bonds is vital since minor structural differences between positional isomers can alter a lipid's biochemical function.

objectivesOxygen Attachment Dissociation (OAD) is a novel fragmentation technology that enables the localisation of C = C double bonds in lipids. To evaluate its use in the structural characterisation of lipids, OAD has been applied in a discovery-based untargeted analysis of the metabolic impact of acute ethanol exposure in a mouse model.

methodsUHPLC-OAD-MS/MS was used to enhance the identification of lipids found to be significantly altered by acute ethanol exposure in the gut, liver and pancreas tissues of male C57BL/6 mice receiving a Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet either containing 5% ethanol or an isocaloric control diet. Tissue extracts were analysed using untargeted UHPLC-DIA-MS/MS; UHPLC-OAD-MS/MS analysis was performed to further annotate lipids that were significantly increased or diminished in the animals exposed to ethanol.

resultsUHPLC-DIA-MS/MS analysis of gut, liver and pancreas tissue revealed 101 lipids that were significantly increased or diminished in ethanol treated mice. Of the included 83 unsaturated lipids detected, UHPLC-OAD-MS/MS enabled the localisation of C = C double bonds in 61, including isomers indistinguishable by MS/MS with collision induced dissociation.

conclusionsThe results demonstrate the value of OAD-MS/MS in enhancing lipid identification. The resulting improvement may enable better understanding of the underlying biochemistry in the response of mice to exposure to ethanol.
