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

purposeIntravenous (IV) magnesium sulfate (MgSO

methodsThirty-two children receiving 50 mg/kg IV MgSO

resultsTotal serum magnesium concentrations were used to externally validate our previously published model constructed with retrospective data (median prediction error 10.3%, median absolute prediction error 18.1%). The mean (%CV) observed endogenous ionized magnesium concentration was calculated to be 6.0 mg/L (12%), approximately one third of the same value for endogenous total serum magnesium (17.6 mg/L (22%)) in this dataset. Weight was a significant predictor of both clearance and volume in a population PK model describing ionized magnesium concentrations. No adverse events were observed in this pediatric cohort.

conclusionsThis prospective study supports and extends our previous PK analysis of total serum magnesium concentrations. Ionized and total serum magnesium followed similar PK profiles following IV MgSO
