Polymeric sorbent phase sorptive extraction for radiation metabolomics.
Article in RSC advances, 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
Novel biodosimetry assays are needed for potential radiological incidents to rapidly assess radiation exposure and guide medical treatments. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analysis using a sorptive phase extraction is a rapid and efficient method for radiation-induced biomarkers in biofluids. Here, we developed a chemically functionalized polymeric Sorbent Phase Sorptive Extraction (SPSE) method. This method employs polymeric thin film sorbents with tailored organic functional groups, which directly bind radiation-responsive biomolecules and increase sample absorption capacity. This microporous membrane system enables rapid, high-sensitivity extraction of metabolites spanning a wide polarity range from urine, serum, and whole blood. We characterized the surface morphology, chemical functionality, and hydrophilicity of multiple sorbent-coated cellulose membranes, including plasma-functionalized nylon-6. Matrix interference was evaluated using untargeted metabolomics, and analytical performance was assessed using a targeted multiplex radiation biomarker panel. Urine, serum, and whole blood were collected from male and female C57BL/6 mice (9 weeks old) exposed to X-rays at 1 day (0, 2, 8, 13 Gy) and 7 days (0, 2, 8 Gy) post-irradiation. The membrane types preserve metabolite stability at room temperature for up to two weeks; however, nylon-6-based cellulose paper membranes exhibited the highest surface porosity, absorption capacity, and metabolite recovery. Classifier performance evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated comparable sensitivity and specificity between SPSE and conventional dilute-and-shoot workflows. Collectively, these results support further development of polymeric sorbent coated paper and fabric-based substrates to increase throughput while eliminating cold-chain requirements. These environmentally conscious design features exemplify principles of green chemistry including lowering chemical waste and operational energy demand.
