Potential of N-acetylated-para-aminosalicylic acid to accelerate manganese enhancement decline for long-term MEMRI in rodent brain.

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
backgroundManganese (Mn(2+))-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) is a valuable imaging tool to study brain structure and function in normal and diseased small animals. The brain retention of Mn(2+) is relatively long with a half-life (t1/2) of 51-74 days causing a slow decline of MRI signal enhancement following Mn(2+) administration. Such slow decline limits using repeated MEMRI to follow the central nervous system longitudinally in weeks or months. This is because residual Mn(2+) from preceding administrations can confound the interpretation of imaging results. We investigated whether the Mn(2+) enhancement decline could be accelerated thus enabling repeated MEMRI, and as a consequence broadens the utility of MEMRI tests. NEW
methodsWe investigated whether N-acetyl-para-aminosalicylic acid (AcPAS), a chelator of Mn(2+), could affect the decline of Mn(2+) induced MRI enhancement in brain. RESULTS AND
conclusionTwo-week treatment with AcPAS (200mg/kg/dose×3 daily) accelerated the decline of Mn(2+) induced enhancement in MRI. In the whole brain on average the enhancement declined from 100% to 17% in AcPAS treated mice, while in PBS controls the decline is from 100% to 27%. We posit that AcPAS could enhance MEMRI utility for evaluating brain biology in small animals. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING
methodsTo the best of our knowledge, no method exists to accelerate the decline of the Mn(2+) induced MRI enhancement for repeated MEMRI tests.
