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

The kidney plays an important role in ion homeostasis in the human body. Several hereditary disorders characterized by perturbations in renal magnesium reabsorption leading to hypomagnesemia have been described over the past 50 years, with the most important of these being Gitelman syndrome, familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, familial hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia, autosomal dominant hypomagnesemia with hypocalciuria, and autosomal recessive hypomagnesemia. Only recently, following positional cloning strategies in affected families, have mutations in renal ion channels and transporters been identified in these diseases. In this short review, I give an update on these hypomagnesemic disorders. Elucidation of the genetic etiology and, for most of these disorders, also the underlying pathophysiology of the disease, has greatly increased our understanding of the normal physiology of renal magnesium handling. This is yet another example of the importance of studying rare disorders in order to unravel physiological and pathophysiological processes in the human body.
