Magnesium status in patients with Type 2 diabetes (about 170 cases).
Article in Annals of African medicine. 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 (Mg) is an extremely important mineral. It plays major roles in physiological activities of the body. Lower intake of Mg and low-serum Mg concentrations are associated with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and Type-2 diabetes. Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the association between concentration levels of serum Mg and common complications and co morbidities of diabetes mellitus and other biochemical indices. It is a case control study conducted in our department of endocrinology in Hassan II University Hospital of Fez from January 2015 to 2018. Our patients were classified into two groups. Low Mg (Group 1, n = 85) and normal Mg group (Group 2, n = 85). We evaluated demographics characteristics of our patients; the association between Mg status and clinical, biological parameters; and association between Mg status and degenerative complications. Our study included 170 patients. The research results showed that serum Mg level was strongly related to age, sex, diabetes duration, body mass index, hypertension, and glycosylated hemoglobin. Concerning common complication; we only found a negative correlation between Mg level and the existence of nephropathy. We did not find significant correlation with retinopathy; neuropathy; and macroangiopathy. The study has demonstrated that a low Mg level is correlated with a poor control glycemic; high blood pressure and nephropathy in patients with Type 2 diabetes. However, more research is needed to confirm these effects.
