Pulsed MPI Relaxometry of Brownian and Néel Field-Dependent Relaxation in Superparamagnetic Magnetite Nanoparticles Confirm Theory and Simulations.

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
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) are used as tracers in Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). It is crucial to understand the magnetic properties of SPIOs for optimizing MPI imaging contrast, resolution, and sensitivity. Brownian and Néel relaxation theory developed in the early 1950s posits that relaxation times can vary with particle size, shell thickness, medium viscosity, and the applied field strength. Magnetic relaxation can soon provide a unique imaging capability, the ability to distinguish bound from unbound MPI tracers in vivo. Yet experimental validation of these theories has not been completed. In this paper, a novel method of pulsed magnetic field relaxometry is used to directly probe the relaxation behavior of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles over a spectrum of magnetic field amplitudes, providing the first experimental validation of theoretical relaxation models. It is also shown that closed-form approximations generated in the early 1970s accurately match both data and numerical Fokker Planck computational models, which are computationally burdensome. This means researchers can trust these approximations for future modeling. All the findings can be translated to sinusoidal excitations used in conventional MPI scanning trajectories.
