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 determination of blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and partial pressure of oxygen (pO

methodsFive Connexin-32 (Cx32)-knockout (KO) mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide to induce neuroinflammation for imaging. Three wild-type mice were also used to optimize the imaging procedure and as control animals. An additional seven Cx32-KO mice were used to establish the BBB leakage of trityl using the colorimetric assay. All pEPRI experiments were performed using a preclinical instrument, JIVA-25 (25 mT/720 MHz), at times t = 0, 4, and 6 h following lipopolysaccharide injection. Two pEPRI imaging techniques were used: (a) single-point imaging for obtaining spatial maps to outline the brain and calculate BBB leakage using the signal amplitude, and (b) inversion-recovery electron spin echo for obtaining pO

resultsA statistically significant change in BBB leakage was found using pEPRI with the progression of inflammation in Cx32 KO animals. However, the change in pO

conclusionsFor the first time, we show the ability of pEPRI to provide pO
