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
backgroundCircadian Syndrome (CircS) expands on metabolic syndrome (MetS) by including circadian rhythm disturbances and depression. It has been shown to be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than MetS. While magnesium has been linked to circadian rhythm disturbances, its association with CircS remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary magnesium intake and CircS using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
methodsData from 10,486 adults aged 20 years and above who attended the 2005-2016 NHANES were analyzed in this cross-sectional study. Magnesium intake was assessed using two 24-h dietary recalls. CircS was defined based on components of MetS plus short sleep and depression, with a cut-off of ≥ 4 components. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between magnesium intake and CircS.
resultsThe mean participant age was 50.3 (SD 17.6) years. The prevalence of CircS was 41.3%, decreasing from 47.3% in the lowest quartile of magnesium intake to 35.2% in the highest. After adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, energy intake, education, and lifestyle factors, higher magnesium intake was linked to lower CircS prevalence. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) (95% CI) across magnesium intake quartiles were: 1.00, 0.80 (0.68-0.95), 0.75 (0.64-0.87), and 0.61 (0.49-0.76) (p for trend < 0.001). The association remained significant after additional adjustment for healthy eating index. No significant interaction was found between magnesium intake and race, gender, smoking, alcohol use, or physical activity.
conclusionsHigher magnesium intake was associated with lower CircS prevalence in U.S. adults, suggesting a potential role for magnesium in circadian health.
