Design of a New FAIMS Device With Replaceable Accessories and Analysis of the Impact of Spacing.
Article in Rapid communications in mass spectrometry : RCM, 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
rationaleThe plate spacing has a significant impact on the resolution and sensitivity of High-Field Asymmetric Waveform Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS). Theoretical and experimental analysis of this parameter is of great significance for improving the performance of FAIMS.
methodsA self-designed modular FAIMS device with replaceable upper and lower PCB plates was developed to provide a reliable experimental platform for investigating plate spacing as a single variable. In this device, the fixed mechanical positioning and conductive-contact connection help restore consistent electrode positioning. Theoretical analysis and SIMION simulations were first performed to predict the influence of plate spacing, followed by experimental validation. Plate spacings of 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 mm were set, and acetone samples were detected under the same electric field conditions.
resultsThe simulation and experimental results show that with the increase of plate spacing, the FAIMS signal intensity (peak height) increases significantly: when the plate spacing increases from 0.3 to 0.6 mm, the signal intensity of the main peak increases by approximately 100%, and that of the secondary peak increases 4.6-fold. Moreover, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of all spacings is below 5%. Increasing the plate spacing significantly improves the sensitivity of the FAIMS system while the resolution does not change significantly, and the system maintains good separation capability.
conclusionsThis study provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the optimal design of FAIMS instruments.
