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

Gangliosides are structurally complex glycosphingolipids that regulate cellular signaling via interactions with extracellular binding partners and by influencing protein function within the membrane. Their comprehensive analysis remains analytically challenging, in part due to low endogenous abundance, extensive structural diversity, and the frequent occurrence of isomeric species arising from both glycan and ceramide moieties. Here, we present a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) nanoelectrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (nanoESI-MS/MS) method specifically designed to achieve isomer-resolved analysis and molecular species-level quantification of gangliosides. To improve characterization of low-abundance fatty acyl fragments, the workflow was extended by combining nanoESI with online fraction collection and subsequent direct infusion. The method demonstrated stable chromatographic performance, high sensitivity, and reproducible quantitative results across ten mouse tissues. Application of the workflow enabled quantification of 80 ganglioside molecular species belonging to 18 subclasses and revealed pronounced tissue-specific differences in subclass distribution and ceramide composition. Overall, this study establishes a robust and sensitive platform for comprehensive ganglioside analysis, providing new opportunities to investigate ganglioside diversity, regulation, and function in complex biological systems.
