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

backgroundRecent reports suggest that 40-70 % chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients receiving dialysis have significant coronary artery disease. Magnesium depletion is being considered as the missing link between the cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis in CKD. The present work aimed to study the association between magnesium status and lipid alterations in pre-dialysis CKD patients attending the Nephrology Clinic in a tertiary care hospital in South India.

methods90 cases of CKD and 90 age and gender matched healthy controls were included in the study. Framingham risk scoring was done and presence of metabolic syndrome was assessed. Lipid profile, serum and urine magnesium, blood glucose, calcium, phosphorus, urea and creatinine levels were assayed in all study subjects.

resultsIn this study we observed a significantly lower serum magnesium levels and dyslipidemic alterations, a significantly raised total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein and non-HDL in patients with CKD. We also observed a significant correlation between the lowered serum magnesium concentrations and atherogenic dyslipidemia, suggesting a link to increased cardiovascular risk in CKD patients. CKD patients had higher risk of cardiovascular disease (according to their Framingham risk score), which also showed significant correlation with the hypomagnesaemia.

conclusionsOur results suggest a strong association of hypomagnesemia and atherogenic dyslipidemia in patients with CKD. This gains particular importance in the high cardiovascular risk-borne CKD patients, as supplementing magnesium would go a long way in reducing the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in CKD.
