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

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in the accurate diagnosis of numerous human diseases and disorders, with Gd(III)-based contrast agents (GBCAs) being used in ≈30%-40% of procedures, resulting in ≈30 million doses administered annually worldwide. The careful design of a rigid macrocyclic chelator featuring a highly hydrophilic periphery leads to the development of gadopiclenol, the first bis-hydrated Gd(III)-based MRI contrast agent, recently approved for clinical use by both the FDA and EMA. The stereochemistry of the coordinating arms is found to play a crucial role in the remarkable thermodynamic stability and inertness of the Gd(III)-complex with the RRR/SSS-stereoisomer of this heptadentate chelating agent, ensuring its safety in vivo. The exceptional stability of the most effective gadopiclenol enantiomeric pair (RRR/SSS), coupled with a relaxivity 2 to 3 times higher than that of currently used GBCAs, has enabled the use of reduced doses while ensuring non-inferior image contrast.
