The degradation and clearance of Poly(N-hydroxypropyl-L-glutamine)-DTPA-Gd as a blood pool MRI contrast agent.
Article in Biomaterials, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Although polymeric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents have significantly improved relaxivity and prolonged circulation time in vivo compared with current imaging agents, the potential for long-term toxicity prevents their translation into the clinic. The aim of this study was to develop a new biodegradable, nonionic polymeric blood pool MRI contrast agent with efficient clearance from the body. We synthesized PHPG-DTPA, which possesses two potentially degradable sites in vivo: protein amide bonds of the polymer backbone susceptible to enzymatic degradation and hydrolytically labile ester bonds in the side chains. After chelation with Gd(3+), PHPG-DTPA-Gd displayed an R(1) relaxivity of 15.72 mm(-1)⋅sec(-1) (3.7 times higher than that of Magnevist(T)). In vitro, DTPA was completely released from PHPG polymer within 48 h when incubated in mouse plasma. In vivo, PHPG-DTPA-Gd was cleared via renal route as shown by micro-single photon emission computed tomography of mice after intravenous injection of (111)In-labeled PHPG-DTPA-Gd. MRI of nude rats bearing C6 glioblastoma showed significant enhancement of the tumor periphery after intravenous injection of PHPG-DTPA-Gd. Furthermore, mouse brain angiography was clearly delineated up to 2 h after injection of PHPG-DTPA-Gd. PHPG-DTPA-Gd's biodegradability, efficient clearance, and significantly increased relaxivity make it a promising polymeric blood pool MRI contrast agent.
