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

purposeCEST MRI experiments of mobile macromolecules, for example, proteins, carbohydrates, and phospholipids, often show signals due to saturation transfer from aliphatic protons to water. Currently, the mechanism of this nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE)-based transfer pathway is not completely understood and could be due either to NOEs directly to bound water or NOEs relayed intramolecularly via exchangeable protons. We used glycogen as a model system to investigate this saturation transfer pathway in sugar polymer solution.

methodsTo determine whether proton exchange affected saturation transfer, saturation spectra (Z-spectra) were measured for glycogen solutions of different pH, D

resultsSignal intensities of aliphatic NOEs in Z-spectra of glycogen in D

conclusionThe predominant mechanism underlying aliphatic signals in Z-spectra of mobile carbohydrate polymers is intramolecular relayed NOE transfer followed by proton exchange.
