Magnesium and the anaesthetist.
Review in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 1988. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Magnesium plays an important role as a cofactor in many of the body's critical functions and reactions. A deficiency or excess of extracellular magnesium can produce significant signs and symptoms. Hypomagnesaemia is a common finding in hospitalised patients, especially those in critical care areas. Anaesthetising hypomagnesaemic patients may exacerbate pre-existing cardiovascular disease and increase the risk of perioperative dysrhythmias. A low serum magnesium level usually suggests a total body deficiency of magnesium. Treatment of magnesium deficiency is by parenteral magnesium and should be instituted prior to surgery. Hypermagnesaemia is often iatrogenic and is more likely in patients with renal dysfunction who are receiving oral or parenteral magnesium. The specific antidote is intravenous calcium. Anaesthetised patients with high serum magnesium levels are at risk from hypotension, potentiation of non-depolarising neuromuscular blockers, postoperative respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.
