Magnesium Supplementation Shortens Hemodialysis-Associated Prolonged QT.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hemodialysis affects myocardial depolarization and repolarization notably lengthening the QT interval. Prolonged QT, in turn, has been a reliable surrogate for higher risk of potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias. We present an adolescent girl with end-stage kidney disease who consistently developed prolonged QT following hemodialysis sessions. Interestingly, her QT intervals were inversely correlated with her serum magnesium levels. Magnesium supplementation appeared to help reduce the QT prolongation after hemodialysis. Our case shows the potential utility of magnesium as a cardioprotective agent in hemodialysis patients. We recommend that patients undergoing hemodialysis receive frequent electrocardiograms and electrolytes monitoring for tailored electrolytes management to reduce the risk of developing potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmias.
