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
The quality of biological samples used in metabolomics research is significantly influenced by preanalytical factors, such as the timing of centrifugation and freezing. This study aimed to evaluate how preanalytical factors, like delays in centrifugation and freezing, affect metabolomics research. Blood samples, collected in various tube types, were subjected to controlled pre- and postcentrifugation delays. Metabolite levels were quantified using NMR spectroscopy and fitted in linear mixed models used to predict changes in metabolite concentrations over time. The results showed that some metabolites, such as lactic acid, were significantly affected by even short delays, while others remained stable for longer. The study introduced the concept of a "stability time point", marking when a metabolite's concentration changes by 20%. These predictive models were validated in a separate cohort. To apply these findings, the authors developed the PRIMA Panel, an open-source R Shiny tool. This tool allows researchers to assess the impact of preanalytical variations on their samples, predict metabolite stability, and generate performance reports. The PRIMA Panel was tested using samples from the Dresden Integrated Liquid Biobank, proving its utility in a real-world biobank setting. The study emphasizes the importance of tracking preanalytical factors to improve the reliability of metabolomics analyses. The PRIMA Panel is available online and for local deployment, providing a practical solution for quality control in metabolomics research. The results of the study underscore the importance of tracking preanalytical factors in biobanking. A versatile tool for assessing their impact on metabolic data is introduced, improving the reliability of future analyses.
