Correlation between LC-MS/MS and ELISA methods for quantitative analysis of desmosine-containing solutions.
Article in Bioanalysis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDesmosine and isodesmosine are crosslinking amino acids found in extracellular matrix protein elastin, which imparts elasticity to tissues such as those of the lungs and arteries. These compounds are promising biomarkers for diseases involving elastin degradation, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodThis study examined the correlation between isotope-dilution LC-MS/MS and a newly established ELISA for in vitro diagnosis using a variety of samples.
resultsResults of ELISA and LC-MS/MS analyses exhibited a high correlation coefficient (0.9941). However, whereas the LC-MS/MS measurements deviated approximately 2-fold from the theoretical values, the ELISA measurements ranged from 0.83 to 1.06 (avg 0.94) times the theoretical values. Precise measurement of the absorbance of synthetic desmosine revealed a molar extinction coefficient of 2403, which differed markedly from the previously reported value of 4900 in 1963. Using this value to recalculate the amount of added desmosine, the LC-MS/MS measurements were 0.68 to 0.99 (avg 0.87) times the theoretical values.
conclusionThus, the developed ELISA enables highly accurate determination of desmosine concentrations, comparable to LC-MS/MS, suggesting that ELISA is a potentially useful in vitro diagnostic tool.
