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

Regulation of the body Mg(2+) balance takes place in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), where transcellular reabsorption determines the final urinary Mg(2+) excretion. The basolateral Mg(2+) extrusion mechanism in the DCT is still unknown, but recent findings suggest that SLC41 proteins contribute to Mg(2+) extrusion. The aim of this study was, therefore, to characterize the functional role of SLC41A3 in Mg(2+) homeostasis using the Slc41a3 knockout (Slc41a3(-/-)) mouse. By quantitative PCR analysis it was shown that Slc41a3 is the only SLC41 isoform with enriched expression in the DCT. Interestingly, serum and urine electrolyte determinations demonstrated that Slc41a3(-/-) mice suffer from hypomagnesemia. The intestinal Mg(2+) absorption capacity was measured using the stable (25)Mg(2+) isotope in mice fed a low Mg(2+) diet. (25)Mg(2+) uptake was similar in wildtype (Slc41a3(+/+)) and Slc41a3(-/-) mice, although Slc41a3(-/-) animals exhibited increased intestinal mRNA expression of Mg(2+) transporters Trpm6 and Slc41a1. Remarkably, some of the Slc41a3(-/-) mice developed severe unilateral hydronephrosis. In conclusion, SLC41A3 was established as a new factor for Mg(2+) handling.
