Plasma-Microdroplet Fusion for Online Post-Column Epoxidation: Toward Deep Lipidomics on Unmodified Mass Spectrometers.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 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
The ability to characterize closely related lipids is clinically important, requiring the development of analytical tools to differentiate species responsible for metabolic disorders from those needed for metabolic homeostasis. Herein, we report a new liquid chromatographic (LC) method that utilizes online microdroplet-based epoxidation reactions during electrospray to enable C═C bond localization on conventional tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Through a coaxial spray mechanism, charged microdroplets derived from the LC column and containing the lipid analyte were fused with nonthermal plasma, which facilitated (i) positive ion mode detection of various lipid classes and (ii) instantaneous C═C bond epoxidation via reaction with reactive oxygen species in the nonthermal plasma. Consequently, conventional low-energy MS/MS based on collision-induced dissociation was effective in characterizing the positional isomers of various lipids. Our ability to modify electrosprayed microdroplets post-column allowed independent optimization of the LC mobile phase, which in turn enabled both polar and nonpolar lipids to be separated on a C12 reverse-phase column. A data-dependent acquisition (DDA) method was created to enable the automated characterization of epoxide products in a 17-component lipid mixture. The DDA method was applied to characterize new triacylglycerol previously not detected in extra virgin olive oil.
