Not only manganese, but fruit component effects dictate the efficiency of fruit juice as an oral magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.
Article in NMR in biomedicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Several fruit juices are used as oral contrast agents to improve the quality of images in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. They are often preferred to conventional synthetic contrast agents because of their very low cost, natural origin, intrinsic safety, and comparable image qualities. Pineapple and blueberry juices are the most employed in clinical practice due to their higher content of manganese(II) ions. The interest of pharmaceutical companies in these products is testified by the appearance in the market of fruit juice derivatives with improved contrast efficacy. Here, we investigate the origin of the contrast of blueberry juice, analyze the parameters that can effect it, and elucidate the differences with pineapple juice and manganese(II) solutions. It appears that, although manganese(II) is the paramagnetic ion responsible for the contrast, it is the interaction of manganese(II) with other juice components that modulates the efficiency of the juice as a magnetic resonance contrast agent. On these grounds, we conclude that blueberry juice concentrated to the same manganese concentration of pineapple juice would prove a more efficient contrast agent than pineapple juice.
