Sequential MALDI and Nano-DESI MS Imaging of Lipids and Proteins on Stretched Tissue Samples.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 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
Imaging of both lipids and proteoforms in the same tissue section is a powerful approach to obtaining comprehensive molecular maps of biological systems. However, achieving high spatial resolution for both molecular classes remains challenging. Here, we combine tissue expansion with sequential imaging of lipids via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and intact proteins via nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI) on the same tissue section to achieve comprehensive high-resolution molecular maps. Physical stretching of the tissue on Parafilm "M" produced a 4.5-fold effective resolution enhancement in both the X and Y dimensions (a ∼20-fold increase in area) in the mouse cerebellum for both MALDI and nano-DESI measurements. We further leveraged MALDI data to sharpen nano-DESI images using a partial least-squares (PLS) regression framework with a data consistency constraint. Finally, we applied midlevel fusion of MALDI and nano-DESI data to identify lipids and proteins localized to the same anatomical structures. Together, this straightforward workflow enables multimodal imaging of lipids and proteins from the same tissue section with improved spatial resolution and integrated analysis.
