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

Sample pretreatment for mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics and lipidomics is normally conducted independently with two sample aliquots and separate matrix cleanup procedures, making the two-step process sample-intensive and time-consuming. Herein, we introduce a high-throughput pretreatment workflow for integrated nontargeted metabolomics and lipidomics leveraging the enhanced matrix removal (EMR)-lipid microelution 96-well plates. The EMR-lipid technique was innovatively employed to effectively separate and isolate non-lipid small metabolites and lipids in sequence using significantly reduced sample amounts and organic solvents. Our proposed methodology enables parallel profiling of metabolome and lipidome within a single sample aliquot using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). Following method development and optimization with representative metabolites at levels comparable to those detected in human blood, the optimized workflow was applied to prepare metabolome-lipidome from maternal and umbilical cord-blood sera prior to comprehensive profiling using three different UHPLC columns. Results indicate that, compared with conventional two-step metabolomics-lipidomics sample pretreatment workflow, this new approach substantially reduces sample amount and processing time, while still preserving metabolite profiles and revealing additional MS features. Over 2500 metabolites were annotated in human sera with >1000 shared across maternal and cord blood. The shared metabolites are closely linked to various physiological functions, including nutrient transfer, hormonal regulation, waste product clearance, and metabolic programming, underscoring the significant impact of maternal metabolic activities on neonatal metabolic health. In summary, the proposed workflow enables efficient sample pretreatment for nontargeted metabolomics-lipidomics using one single sample while achieving broad metabolite coverage, highlighting its remarkable applicability in clinical and preclinical research.
