Estimation of magnesium level in type 2 diabetes mellitus and its correlation with HbA1c level.
Article in Endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04636411 (Evaluation of the Effects of Oral Magnesium Supplementation on Glycemic Control and Inflammation Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common disease; the total number of diabetes patients is expected to reach 366 million by 2030. Magnesium has received considerable attention for its potential role in improving insulin sensitivity and preventing diabetes and its cardiovascular complications. Hypomagnesaemia is linked to poor control of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and depletion of serum magnesium occurs exponentially with duration of disease. The aim of this study was to measure serum magnesium level and the correlation of magnesium level with HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we included 100 diabetic patients; blood is taken for measurement of both magnesium and HbA1c levels. Patients with risk factors of magnesium deficiency were not included.
resultsOf the total 100 patients recruited in our study, majority had diabetes for 8.0 years duration. The mean age of the patients was 53.97 ± 10.65 years, most of them were on oral hypoglycaemic agents (84.9%) followed by combination of oral hypoglycaemic agents and insulin (10.5%), and a small percentage were on insulin alone (4.7%). The mean of serum magnesium and HbA1c levels was 1.88 ± 0.25 mg/dL and 8.38% ± 1.53%, respectively. The majority of the patients had a normal level of magnesium (95.0%); however, most of them had uncontrolled blood glucose (82.0%). The study showed that the serum magnesium level and HbA1c are not significantly correlated (
conclusionNormal magnesium levels were observed in majority of patients, there is no significant correlation between serum magnesium and HbA1c levels in patients with T2DM, but larger-scale clinical trials are needed in future.
