[Development of an LC-MS/MS method for 32 steroid hormones and exploration of their gestational variations].
Article in Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University, 2026. 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
objectivesTo establish a highly sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based analytical method for detecting steroid hormones in human serum.
methodsSolid-phase extraction (SPE) was used for sample pretreatment. Chromatographic conditions were optimized to achieve baseline separation, and mass spectrometry parameters were adjusted to ensure accurate detection of trace amounts of hormones. After validation of the linear range, accuracy, and precision, the method was applied in detection of serum samples from normal pregnant women for analyzing dynamic variation characteristics of 32 steroid hormones during the first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy.
resultsThe linear range of the method was 0.001-7500 ng/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0007 ng/mL. Both intra-day and inter-day coefficients of variation (CV) of the method were less than 10%, the spiked recovery ranged from 86.21% to 112.67%, the extraction efficiency was 85.05%-106.3%, and the matrix effects were 85.60%-113.22%. The results of detection using this method for serum steroid hormones during pregnancy revealed significant elevation of most of the hormones (such as 11-deoxycortisol, 11β-hydroxyprogesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and estriol) with the progression of pregnancy, indicating a close correlation with the development of fetal-placental function. Some hormones increased in the third trimester, possibly due to maternal adaptive regulation and maturation of fetal adrenal function.
conclusionsThe detection results using the method established in this study reveal dynamic variations of steroid hormones during pregnancy, which provides clues for further physiological and pathological studies of these hormones.
