Importing RIS: "the selected file is not in a supported format"

I am importing files from Ovid that are RIS. I can open them in Endnote no problem. For some reason they are giving me file is not supported error in Zotero. I have checked and the file starts with TY and ends in ER as it is supposed to. Below is the first record.

N2 - With the development of untargeted metabolomics, studies have shown that alterations in the serum levels of specific amino acids are strongly correlated with the development of early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between optically active free amino acids in human nails and the risk of CRC remains unclear. In this study, a highly sensitive UHPLC-MS/MS chiral separation method based on (S)-(-)-DBD-Pro-COCl derivatization was established for the simultaneous detection of DL-Asp, DL-Kyn, DL-alpha-hydroxybutyric acid (DL-alpha-HB), and Cystamine in the fingernails of patients with CRC. The derivatization reagents were incubated with DL-amino acids, DL-alpha-HB and Cyst at 60 degreeC for 15 min to form diastereomers. Subsequently, an Imtakt cadenza CD-C18 column (3.0 x 150 mm, 3.0 mcm) was used for the separation of diastereomers under gradient elution of 10 mM HCOONH4 in H2O as mobile phase A and 0.1 % HCOOH in CH3CN as mobile phase B. The degrees of separation (Rs) ranged from 1.76 to 3.21. R2 was >0.9995, indicating good linearity; the limit of detection (LOD) was 25-100 fmol; the interday and intraday precision of DL-Asp and DL-alpha-HB detection were 0.85 %-4.91 %; and the average recovery ranged from 81.12 % to 110.2 %. However, during the determination process of fingernail samples, only DL-Asp and DL-alpha-HB were successfully detected, while DL-Kyn and Cyst were not detected. Therefore, this novel method was used to quantify DL-Asp and DL-alpha-HB in fingernail samples from 32 healthy volunteers (HVs) and 16 patients with CRC (CPs). The results revealed significant differences in D-Asp (p < 0.05), L-Asp (p < 0.01), and L-alpha-HB (p < 0.05) levels between male HVs and CPs and in D-alpha-HB (p < 0.05) levels between female HVs and CPs. In addition, the D/L-alpha-HB ratio (p < 0.01) was significantly different between male HVs and CPs. These findings validate the use of DL-amino acids, DL-alpha-HB and Cyst from human fingernails as potential diagnostic biomarkers for CRC, providing a basis for the clinical application of human fingernail samples for the noninvasive diagnosis of CRC.

    That item should import fine, and does for me. Copy the above to the clipboard and go to File → Import from Clipboard in Zotero. If you get an error, provide a Debug ID for reproducing that, and then reset your translators from the Advanced → Files and Folders section of the Zotero settings.

    If the entry above does work, you'll need to cut down the file in halves until you find the entry that's invalid.
