Review in Obstetric medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04037098 (Efficiency and Safety of Magnesium Lactate Administration in the Reduction of Gestational Diabetes Incidence.), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Hypomagnesaemia is common in pregnancy, particularly in developing countries and low-income communities. Despite the frequent therapeutic use of magnesium in pregnancy, and the evidence regarding the association of hypomagnesaemia with adverse pregnancy outcomes in animal studies, it remains unclear whether hypomagnesaemia is associated with complications in human pregnancy. Three case reports of pregnancies complicated by moderate-severe hypomagnesaemia are presented and magnesium physiology in pregnancy is discussed. The evidence as to whether hypomagnesaemia may represent a direct cause, a consequence of other disease processes or an epiphenomenon in adverse pregnancies outcomes is reviewed.
