1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dilated cardiomyopathy in pregnancy, whether diagnosed pre-conception, or occurring de novo during pregnancy, may be associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. Hypomagnesaemia is associated with ventricular arrhythmias and may be a risk factor for heart failure, coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation in the general population. Pregnancy is associated with a progressive physiological fall in serum magnesium concentration. Intracellular magnesium deficiency may exist despite normal serum magnesium concentration. Three cases of dilated cardiomyopathy developing in the peripartum period with hypomagnesaemia are presented. The literature regarding associations between magnesium deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy is reviewed. Potential future research examining magnesium deficiency as a potential contributor to dilated cardiomyopathy in pregnancy is proposed, and possible implications for management are discussed.
