  1. HP, HN, CP and CN denote different analytical streams corresponding to HILIC positive, negative and C18 positive and negative, respectively; a positive t stat value indicates high- > low-sugar group (↑), whereas a negative value indicates high- < low-sugar group (↓); area under the curve (AUC) is a summary statistic for receiver–operator characteristic (ROC) curves, and denotes the trade-off between the specificity and sensitivity of a compound to enable binary classification of the two groups. On a rough scale, AUC values of 0.9–1.0 = excellent, 0.8–0.9 = good, 0.7–0.8 = fair, 0.6–0.7 = poor and 0.5–0.6 = fail, denote respective powers of the compound to direct binary classification79; compounds with matches in the library, spectral database or Mummichog were scored with 1, 2 or 3 levels of confidence, respectively44.
