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

Hypomagnesaemia with secondary hypocalcaemia (HSH) is a rare condition usually presenting in the newborn period as refractory seizures, other symptoms of increased neuromuscular excitability and growth disturbances. A case with a novel TRPM6 mutation with an excellent long-term outcome is reported to highlight the observation that clinical suspicion is essential for an early diagnosis and treatment of HSH. The compliance of a long-term treatment with oral magnesium supplements is critical to avoid abnormalities of neurological and physical development. The finding of novel mutations supports the notion that the molecular study of the whole TRPM6 gene is required for diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, the molecular study of the different types of hereditary hypomagnesaemia is critical to further improve our knowledge of magnesium homeostasis.
