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

purposeThe discussed topic about gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) safety has recently been revived due to the evidence of hyperintensities observed in the dentate nucleus (DN) and globus pallidus (GP) in the brain of patients with normal kidney function. Several preclinical studies have been conducted to understanding how the use of GBCAs can promote the gadolinium deposition in the brain. Here, we evaluate the impact of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion on gadolinium presence.

methodsT1 hyperintensities and BBB integrity were evaluated by MRI in chronically hypoperfused and healthy rats injected with either gadodiamide or hypertonic saline. Additionally, the assessment of glucose metabolism by PET imaging and the gadolinium content by ICP-MS was performed after the last MR scan.

resultsChronically hypoperfused rats displayed a greater MRI T

conclusionHigher signal intensity followed by higher Gd concentration observed in DCN and hippocampus of animals subjected to cerebral injury can be associated with an increase in BBB permeability due to the applied vascular dementia animal model. Nonetheless, no glucose metabolism abnormalities were detected in chronically hypoperfused cerebellum.
