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

Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone of untargeted metabolomics, enabling the characterization of metabolites in both positive and negative ionization modes. However, comparisons across ionization modes have remained a substantial challenge due to the distinct fragmentation patterns produced by each polarity. To overcome this barrier, we present MS2DeepScore 2.0, a machine learning-based model to predict chemical similarity between mass fragmentation spectra, which works both between different and the same ionization modes. We demonstrate the utility of MS2DeepScore 2.0 in three case studies, where MS2DeepScore enabled cross-ionization mode molecular networking, enhancing data exploration and metabolite annotation. To ensure robustness, we have implemented a quality estimation method that flags spectra with low information content or those dissimilar to the training data, thereby minimizing false predictions. Altogether, MS2DeepScore 2.0 extends our current capabilities in organizing, exploring, and annotating untargeted metabolomics profiles.
