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

Hexosylceramides (HexCers) and hexosylsphingosines (HexSphs) are bioactive glycosphingolipids implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Gaucher disease, and Krabbe disease. Despite their biological relevance, no existing method enables the simultaneous quantification of both HexCers and HexSphs across multiple biological matrices. In this study, we report the development, validation, and application of a novel LC-MS/MS method capable of quantifying 11 lipid species, including glucosylceramides, galactosylceramides, glucosylsphingosine, galactosylsphingosine, ceramide, lactosylceramide, and sphingosine, in a single chromatographic run. The method integrates optimized liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction protocols, achieving high recovery and selectivity. Validation was performed according to internal and external (e.g., ICH and FDA guidelines) international guidelines, demonstrating excellent sensitivity, linearity (R
