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

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful analytical tool that enables molecular sample analysis while simultaneously providing the spatial context of hundreds or even thousands of analytes. However, because of the lack of a separation step prior to ionization and the immense diversity of biomolecules, such as lipids, including numerous isobaric species, the coupling of ultrahigh mass resolution (UHR) with MSI presents one way in which this complexity can be resolved at the spectrum level. Until now, UHR MSI platforms have been restricted to Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometers. Here, we demonstrate the capabilities of an Orbitrap-based UHR MSI platform to reach over 1,000,000 mass resolution in a lipid mass range (600-950 Da). Externally coupling the Orbitrap Q Exactive HF with the high-performance data acquisition system FTMS Booster X2 provided access to the unreduced data in the form of full-profile absorption-mode FT mass spectra. In addition, it allowed us to increase the time-domain transient length from 0.5 to 10 s, providing improvement in the mass resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and mass accuracy. The resulting UHR performance generates high-quality MALDI MSI images and simplifies the identification of lipids. Collectively, these improvements resulted in a 1.5-fold increase in annotations, demonstrating the advantages of this UHR imaging platform for spatial lipidomics using MALDI-MSI.
