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

Mass spectrometry (MS) has been proven as an excellent tool in ocular drug research allowing analyzes from small samples and low concentrations. This review begins with a short introduction to eye physiology and ocular pharmacokinetics and the relevance of advancing ophthalmic treatments. The second part of the review consists of an introduction to ocular proteomics, with special emphasis on targeted absolute quantitation of membrane transporters and metabolizing enzymes. The third part of the review deals with liquid chromatography-MS (LC-MS) and MS imaging (MSI) methods used in the analysis of drugs and metabolites in ocular samples. The sensitivity and speed of LC-MS make simultaneous quantitation of various drugs and metabolites possible in minute tissue samples, even though ocular sample preparation requires careful handling. The MSI methodology is on the verge of becoming as important as LC-MS in ocular pharmacokinetic studies, since the spatial resolution has reached the level, where cell layers can be separated, and quantitation with isotope-labeled standards has come more reliable. MS will remain in the foreseeable future as the main analytical method that will progress our understanding of ocular pharmacokinetics.
