Circulating magnesium as a potential risk stratification tool for sudden cardiac death: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the main causes of cardiovascular mortality and accounts for 15-20% of deaths worldwide. The current stratification strategy using depressed left ventricular ejection fraction is insufficient to stratify the risk of SCD, especially in the general population. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence showing the antiarrhythmic properties of magnesium. In this systematic review, the authors aim to determine circulating magnesium as a potential risk stratification tool for SCD.
methodsThis systematic review was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and was conducted in July 2021 with sources from Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO Medline, and ProQuest.
resultsA total of six studies were included in this review. Three studies conducted in the general population consistently showed lower risk of SCD in populations with high circulating magnesium. There was no association between circulating magnesium level and risk of SCD in intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) patients, whilst the results were conflicting in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients.
conclusionHigh circulating magnesium might have the potential to be utilized as a risk stratification tool for SCD, especially in the general population. However, further study is needed to support this evidence.
