Advances in mass spectrometry of lipids for the investigation of Niemann-pick type C disease.
Review in Lipids in health and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a devastating, fatal, neurodegenerative disease and a form of lysosomal storage disorder. It is caused by mutations in either NPC1 or NPC2 genes, leading to the accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in the late endosome/lysosome system, a hallmark of the disease. Due to aberrant lipid trafficking in NPC, various techniques have been employed to study cholesterol and lipid dysregulation. Among them, mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics has emerged as a state-of-the-art approach, providing valuable insights into disease pathophysiology, progression, and therapeutic target development. This review highlights the MS instruments used for lipidomics studies and discusses lipid biomarkers identified using MS in the context of NPC disease. Furthermore, integrating lipidomics with other -omics approaches, and leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, should be prioritized in future studies to holistically understand NPC disease.
