Simultaneous LC-MS Profiling of Bioactive Ecdysteroids in Nutrient-Dense Plant Sources and Dietary Supplements.

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
Phytoecdysteroids have garnered increasing interest due to their broad biological and pharmacological properties. The present study reports on the development and validation of a reliable liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the detection and quantification of 20-hydroxyecdysone, turkesterone, and ponasterone. The optimized procedure improved ionization efficiency and chromatographic resolution through gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile. Data acquisition in selective ion monitoring modes ensured high analytical precision, reproducibility, and sensitivity. The method demonstrated excellent linearity, accuracy, repeatability, and low detection limits, making it suitable for routine phytochemical and quality control applications. Application of the method to extracts from nutrient-rich superfoods, including kaniwa, spinach, quinoa, and asparagus, confirmed these plants as natural sources of phytoecdysteroids. Additionally, thirteen commercially available dietary supplements labeled as containing extracts of
