Reversible Bilateral Lower Extremity Weakness Secondary to Severe Hypomagnesemia Following Acute Diarrheal Illness.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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 is a common electrolyte abnormality that can cause a wide range of neuromuscular symptoms, including muscle weakness, tremor, and tetany. However, it is a rare cause of isolated lower extremity weakness. We present a case of a 71-year-old female with multiple comorbidities who developed severe bilateral lower extremity weakness and upper extremity tremor in the setting of profound hypomagnesemia (serum magnesium level of 1.0 mg/dL) after an acute diarrheal illness. The patient's weakness and tremor rapidly improved with intravenous magnesium supplementation. This case highlights the importance of considering hypomagnesemia in the differential diagnosis of acute bilateral lower extremity weakness and the potential for rapid reversal with magnesium repletion.
