Unraveling the Puzzle: A Case of Intricate Neurological Presentation Attributable to Hypomagnesemia.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hypomagnesemia can occasionally present with severe neurological deficiencies, and it is usually attributed to an underlying renal and/or gastrointestinal pathology. Rarely, patients may present with neurological symptoms in the absence of an obvious cause. Our case highlights the importance of considering hypomagnesemia as a primary cause of those presenting with severe neurological deficits in an intensive care unit setting, as well as the significance of conducting a thorough social and medical history on these patients to elucidate their underlying causes. We discuss the case of a 48-year-old Caucasian male who acutely presented with seizures, tremors, visual hallucinations, diplopia, personality changes, and ataxia with recurring severely low magnesium (0.4 mg/dL) at times in the absence of renal, gastrointestinal, hormonal, infectious, or autoimmune pathology.
