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

backgroundLC-MS/MS is widely used for the quantification of phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers, but its low sensitivity is a problem. In addition, solid-phase extraction, a pretreatment method generally used for LC-MS/MS analysis, results in low recovery when applied to phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers. Therefore, a highly sensitive bioanalytical method for the determination of phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers using LC-MS/MS with improved pretreatment is desired.

resultsProtein precipitation was applied to LC-MS/MS analysis for viltolarsen, as a typical phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer, in plasma, and PPT with MeOH achieved high recoveries (>90%). Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with gradient elution improved ion suppression compared to hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. A combination of PPT and RPLC achieved higher sensitivity (lower limit of quantification, 1 ng/mL) than those of approved phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (10 to 20 ng/mL in their clinical reviews), and the between-run accuracy and precision ranged from 97.1% to 109% and 2.56% to 10.5%, respectively. This method was also shown to be applicable to another phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer, ψM23D (+07-18).

conclusionA simple and highly sensitive bioanalytical method for the determination of viltolarsen was established by optimizing RPLC and PPT, and the method was successfully applied to a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers with a different sequence.
