Measuring cerebral glucose metabolism by chemical exchange-sensitive spin-lock (CESL) MRI of 2-deoxy-D-glucose in rodents.
Article in PloS one, 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
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of glucose metabolism shows significant potential for identifying disease biomarkers and monitoring therapeutic responses in neurological conditions. Here, we present a protocol utilizing chemical exchange-sensitive spin-lock (CESL) MRI with the glucose analogue 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) in the rat brain. We employed this method to characterize metabolic changes in ischemic tissue in a rat model of stroke. However, the utility of the technique is not limited to stroke and may be adapted to other disease models with minimal modifications. Previous research has demonstrated that CESL MRI is sensitive to various glucose analogs, including regular D-glucose, which is suitable for human application. Consequently, our protocol provides a foundation for a wide range of future applications in both basic and translational research, with potential utility in animal models and, eventually, human studies.
