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

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, highly acidic polysaccharides that serve as essential extracellular matrix components. There has been increasing evidence that GAGs can release gadolinium ions from complexes of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. This unintended release of gadolinium might be an initial step leading to gadolinium deposition disease, as observed in some patients after intravenous injection of such contrast agents. However, the molecular details of the release remain poorly understood. In this work, we provide direct evidence for gadolinium binding by GAGs using synthetic model substance Fondaparinux (FPX), a heparin mimetic. We observed FPX-gadolinium complexes in mass spectrometry experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) and characterized the binding by EPR, isothermal titration calorimetry, and gas-phase infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Finally, we were able to follow the transchelation process on a molecular level by utilizing collision-induced dissociation experiments.
