Isomer Composition Assessment of Synthetic Phosphatidylethanol by Collision-Induced and Ozone-Induced Dissociation Mass Spectrometry.
Article in Drug testing and analysis, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 direct blood-alcohol biomarker phosphatidylethanol (PEth), especially its most abundant analogue 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-phosphatidylethanol (PEth 16:0/18:1) has gained increasing relevance in clinical and forensic applications for assessing alcohol consumption. Accurate quantification of PEth is essential to reliably differentiate between abstinence, moderate alcohol consumption and excessive alcohol intake. Measurement accuracy of PEth 16:0/18:1 by well-established liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approaches such as multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) can be confounded by the presence of the regioisomer 1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-sn-phosphatidylethanol (PEth 18:1/16:0) in samples and synthetic reference standards. To address this measurement uncertainty, we conducted a new assessment of the isomeric composition of six currently available reference materials from four suppliers using collision-induced dissociation/ozone-induced dissociation (CID/OzID). Examination of these synthetic compounds found a high degree of regioisomeric purity of > 95%. Thus verified, the relative abundance of two key LC-MS/MS transitions were compared across a range of collision energies for both reference materials and an exemplary set of 10 dried blood spot case samples. These findings suggest a significantly wider range of natural isomer distributions spanning both higher and lower regiochemical composition (88.8%-98.85%) than the reference materials but within a range that would not significantly impact clinical classification.
