Severe hypomagnesaemia causing reversible cerebellopathy.
Article in Cerebellum (London, England), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Hypomagnesaemia is common among hospitalised patients and is often under-recognised. Chronic alcohol abuse and alcohol withdrawal are known causes for severe hypomagnesaemia. Hypomagnesaemia can present with cardiac arrhythmias, seizures and other neurological symptoms, among which ataxia. We present a 57-year-old man with a history of chronic alcohol abuse who developed a subacute cerebellar syndrome with hypertension after alcohol withdrawal. A severe hypomagnesaemia of 0.19 mmol/L (normal values 0.70-1.10) was found. MRI showed diffuse, T2 hyperintense lesions in and swelling of the cerebellum. Symptoms, hypertension and MRI abnormalities significantly improved rapidly after intravenous magnesium supplementation. Hypomagnesaemia can cause a subacute, cerebellar syndrome and hypertension. Symptoms, hypertension and MRI abnormalities can be reversed with rapid magnesium supplementation. MRI abnormalities are similar to those caused by vascular endothelial dysregulation seen in posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). A similar case was recently described. We confirm that magnesium is likely to be involved in the pathophysiology of PRES.
