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

As the first clinically approved gadolinium-based blood-pool MRI contrast agent, gadofosveset was designed to bind to human serum albumin (HSA) reversibly, extending the circulation time in the bloodstream. This valuable pharmacokinetic property required for vasculature imaging, however, raises the risk of release and accumulation of gadolinium in vivo. The binding of gadofosveset to HSA significantly increases the relaxivity at low field, which decreases drastically when the magnetic field increases, limiting the applications of gadofosveset at fields of 3 T and higher. To address those challenges, we evaluated a novel dimeric manganese(III) porphyrin (MnP2) in vitro and in vivo as a potential gadolinium-free blood-pool agent. Through multiple spectroscopic studies, we demonstrated that MnP2 binds to HSA tightly. MnP2 exhibits a moderate relaxivity decrease on HSA binding. Nevertheless, owing to the unique field-dependent relaxation behaviors and the dimeric construct (two Mn(III) ions per complex), MnP2-HSA has a molar relaxivity twice that of the gadofosveset-HSA complex at 3 T. Through intravenous injection in rats, MnP2 exhibits long retention and significant contrast enhancement in the vascular compartment, as tested in a 3-T high-field clinical MRI scanner. Taken together, these data demonstrate that MnP2 represents a new class of gadolinium-free blood-pool agents suitable for both regular and high-field applications.
