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

Bimodal imaging agents that combine MRI and optical signals can improve imaging and diagnostic precision by providing complementary anatomical and molecular information. Macromolecular MRI agents can deliver higher relaxivities than small-molecule analogues by using controlled architectures that slow rotational motion and enhance Gd(III)-water interactions. The combination of bimodal functionality with macromolecular designs represents a highly promising route to new imaging agents, but its potential has not yet been realized due to safety concerns over possible unchelated metals and difficulties in achieving reproducible large-scale production. Here, we present a simple, reproducible method to directly incorporate isostructural Gd(III) and Tb(III) complexes into amphiphilic core-shell block copolymer nanoparticles using a single macrocyclic methacrylate ligand. This modular design enables controlled spatial positioning of each MRI- and luminescence agent, achieving high relaxivity up to 30.2 mM
