Association of magnesium intake with predicted atherosclerotic lesions and cardiovascular risk in young adults based on PDAY score: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. 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
backgroundMagnesium deficiency has been shown to accelerate atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that dietary magnesium intake at a young age is associated with future atherosclerotic lesions and cardiovascular risk in a large, nationally representative cohort of U.S. adults.
methodsWe included U.S. adults aged 20 to 34 years old from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007 to 2018, a population-based cross-sectional study. Dietary magnesium intake was assessed using 24-hour diet recalls. Atherosclerotic lesions in the young adult population were predicted by the Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) score that was based on age, sex, smoking status, lipids, blood pressure, and obesity. Information on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including hypertension, non-HDL-C dyslipidemia, and diabetes was also collected. We used multivariable logistic analysis models to test the association between magnesium intake levels and the PDAY score and CVD risk factors, respectively, after adjusting for several potential confounding factors.
results7,244 eligible participants were included in the analysis. The magnesium intake level was classified into three categories based on the tertile distribution in the population (i.e., ≤ 224, 225-340, and ≥ 341 mg/day). Compared with the lowest tertile, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for the PDAY score were 0.83 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.96) and 0.60 (95% CI, 0.49 to 0.74) in the second and the third tertiles of magnesium intake, respectively (P value for trend < 0.001), and there was a negative dose-response relationship (test for trend P value < 0.001). In addition, the highest dietary magnesium intake was significantly inverse associated with non-HDL-C dyslipidemia compared with the lowest magnesium intake (OR = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.91).
conclusionsDietary magnesium intake is inversely associated with the risk of future cardiovascular events assessed by the PDAY score and non-HDL-C dyslipidemia in young adulthood years.
