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

A rapid, sensitive, and selective LC-MSMS method was developed and validated for the quantification of dextromethorphan (DXM), pseudoephedrine (PSE), olanzapine (OLA), and fluoxetine (FLU) in human plasma. Mixture 1 (DXM/PSE) and mixture 2 (OLA/FLU) are fixed-dose combinations commonly misused at high doses for their euphoric effects. The proposed method employed a simple protein precipitation technique for sample preparation, using a cost-effective cross-over internal standard strategy; OLA for mixture 1 and DXM for mixture 2. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Hypersil GOLD column (100 × 3 mm, 1.9 µm) using an isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid (70:30, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The short runtime of 2.5 min enables high-throughput analysis. Detection was performed in positive ionization mode using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The method exhibited linearity over concentration ranges of 0.05-25.0 ng/mL for DXM, 2.0-1000.0 ng/mL for PSE, 0.2-20.0 ng/mL for OLA, and 0.5-50.0 ng/mL for FLU with lower limits of quantification (LLOQs) of 0.05, 2.0, 0.2, and 0.5 ng/mL, respectively. The method was successfully validated in accordance with FDA and ICH bioanalytical method validation guidelines, demonstrating satisfactory selectivity, accuracy, and precision. The validated method demonstrated high extraction recovery (> 90%), limited, reproducible matrix effects (IS-normalized matrix factor CV ≤ 15%). This study represents a novel application of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted evaluation, utilizing a universally accessible model to assess the greenness and whiteness of the proposed LC-MS/MS method through the Auto-AGREE and Auto-RGB 12 frameworks. The AI-generated assessments demonstrated high agreement with traditional metrics, highlighting the potential of AI tools to provide rapid and objective holistic sustainability evaluations for the global analytical community.
