Serum Mg, Zn and Fe levels among coronary artery disease patients in an urban south Indian region.
Article in Bioinformation, 2024. 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
Nutrition plays a crucial role in CAD development, with trace elements like zinc, magnesium, copper, and iron impacting atherogenesis through their antioxidant or oxidant activity. This cross sectional study was conducted under the ICMR-STS program with IEC approval with the aim to estimate and correlate serum magnesium, zinc, and iron levels in CAD patients compared to healthy Individuals in the Urban South Indian population (50 cases, 50 controls, aged 40-70 years). Statistical analyses revealed a significant difference in serum iron levels between cases (95.10 ± 38.82 µg/dL) and controls (118.30 ± 50.54 µg/dL) with a p-value of 0.012. Serum magnesium levels showed a marginal difference between cases (1.97±0.11 mg/dL) and controls (1.92±0.15 mg/dL) with a p-value of 0.053. However, serum zinc levels did not exhibit a statistically significant difference between cases (123.47 ± 26.35 mg/dL) and controls (118.90 ± 32.77 mg/dL) with a p-value of 0.445. Thus, data shows the association between low serum iron levels and an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
