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 pH sensitivity of chemical exchange-relayed nuclear Overhauser enhancement (rNOE) signal in a saturation transfer experiment is not fully understood and needs further investigation.

methodsA three-pool-exchange model was simulated assuming that the magnetization transfer between an NOE pool and water is relayed by a chemical exchange (CE) pool. The saturation transfer signals from bovine serum albumin (BSA) and egg white albumin (EWA) phantoms were measured with different pH or different D

resultsSimulation results showed that the rNOE signal is independent of the Larmor frequency of the CE pool, indicating any CE pool can effectively relay NOE magnetization. The rNOE signal is sensitive to a change of the CE pool size and/or exchange rate only if the CE becomes a rate-limiting step in the relay process. The rNOE signal from BSA phantoms showed larger pH-dependence at -3.0 ppm than those at -1.9 and -4.0 ppm. However, rNOE signals from aliphatic protons have much weaker pH-dependence than the CEST signal, suggesting that CE is unlikely the rate-limiting step and the rNOE signals in BSA are mainly relayed by fast exchanging protons. The existence of aromatic NOE was confirmed by proton spectroscopy.

conclusionThe pH-sensitivity of the rNOE signal is determined by whether the CE process is a rate-limiting step in the relay. The rNOE signal has much weaker pH-sensitivity than the CEST signal in BSA proteins, which can explain the weak pH sensitivity of rNOE in vivo.
