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

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry is a powerful technique capable of providing accurate, reliable, and repeated measurements of tissue oxygenation, which is crucial to the diagnosis and treatment of several pathophysiological conditions. Measurement of tissue pO(2) by EPR involves the use of paramagnetic, oxygen-sensitive probes, which can be either soluble (molecular) in nature or insoluble paramagnetic materials. Development of innovative strategies to enhance the biocompatibility and in vivo application of these oxygen-sensing probes is crucial to the growth and clinical applicability of EPR oximetry. Recent research efforts have aimed at encapsulating particulate probes in bioinert polymers for the development of biocompatible EPR probes. In this study, we have developed novel EPR oximetry probes, called perchlorotriphenylmethyl triester (PTM-TE):polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) chips, by dissolving and incorporating the soluble (molecular) EPR probe, PTM-TE, in an oxygen-permeable polymer matrix, PDMS. We demonstrate that such incorporation (doping) of PTM-TE in PDMS enhanced its oxygen sensitivity several fold. The cast-molding method of fabricating chips enabled them to be made with increasing amounts of PTM-TE (spin density). Characterization of the spin distribution within the PDMS matrix, using EPR micro-imaging, revealed potential inhomogeneties, albeit with no adverse effect on the oxygen-sensing characteristics of PTM-TE:PDMS. The chips were resistant to autoclaving or in vitro oxidoreductant treatment, thus exhibiting excellent in vitro biostability. Our results establish PTM-TE:PDMS as a viable probe for biological oxygen-sensing, and also validate the incorporation of soluble probes in polymer matrices as an innovative approach to the development of novel probes for EPR oximetry.
