High-Normal Serum Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium Levels Are Associated With Decreased Risks of Adverse Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHigh serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels have been reported to be associated with decreased risks of ischemic stroke, whereas their prognostic values in ischemic stroke remain unclear. We aimed to prospectively explore the associations of serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels with the prognosis of ischemic stroke.
methodsWe measured serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels at baseline among 5469 patients with ischemic stroke from the Minhang Stroke Cohort study. The primary outcome was the composite outcome of death and major disability (modified Rankin Scale score ≥3) at 3 months after ischemic stroke. Secondary outcomes included major disability, death, and the ordered 7-level categorical score of the modified Rankin Scale.
resultsDuring 3-month follow-up, 1834 patients developed the primary outcome. After multivariate adjustment, the adjusted odds ratios of primary outcome for the highest versus the lowest quartile were 0.79 (95% CI, 0.68-0.93;
conclusionsHigh-normal serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels were associated with decreased risks of adverse outcomes at 3 months after ischemic stroke, suggesting that serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium might be valuable prognostic biomarkers for ischemic stroke.
