Low magnesium levels and prognosis in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Article in The oncologist, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 essential element involved in cellular metabolism. We demonstrated that in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (SCT), those with a serum Mg < 2.0 mg/dL at the time of transplant had worse outcomes. In this study, we aimed to learn the prognostic value of low serum Mg in patients with untreated DLBCL. We analyzed serum from 408 patients and tested 2 Mg cutpoints-low (<1.7 mg/dL) and low normal (<2.0 mg/dL), a range we found associated with lower survival in the SCT group. We found 3% of patients with low levels and 23% with low normal levels. Low normal serum Mg levels were associated with a higher stage at diagnosis, more extranodal involvement, higher international prognostic index score, lower overall survival (OS), and event-free survival. These data warrant testing Mg replacement to a target of >2.0 mg/dL to learn if survival can be improved.
