Temperature Dependence of Paramagnetic Species in the Human Brain Tissue: An X-Band EPR Study.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeParamagnetic ions are distributed throughout the human brain. The increased accumulation of these metals, such as iron and copper, can induce cellular death and the development of neurological diseases. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is a spectroscopic technique capable of detecting these ions in a given biological sample.
methodsSamples from 17 human brain structures of 8 ex vivo subjects were extracted, lyophilized, and triturated for EPR measurements at variable temperatures ranging from 193 to 293 K. Simulations were performed using the EasySpin toolbox to calculate qualitative parameters and the EPR absorption of high-spin iron (Fe(III)), copper ion (Cu(II)), and ferritin (Ft) signals in all obtained EPR spectra.
resultsThe simulated parameters showed a considerable percentage variation relative to the input values, which resulted in spectral visual changes of each paramagnetic ion signal. The simulated EPR brain spectra demonstrated temperature dependence, with an increase in the amplitude of Fe(III), Cu(II), and Ft signals as the temperature decreased.
conclusionsThe magnetic behavior of these paramagnetic species exhibited linearity with the inverse of temperature for the Cu(II) EPR absorption across all brain structures, while Fe(III) and Ft signals showed a nonlinear pattern in the EPR absorption, with heterogeneity among all brain regions and subjects.
