Emerging Perspectives on Platelet-Activating Factor in Relation to Magnesium Levels at the Cellular, Tissue, and Systemic Levels in Disease States.
Review in Cells, 2026. 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
Magnesium is an essential micronutrient that exerts fundamental roles at both the cellular and tissue levels, with broad therapeutic and preventive implications across a range of pathological conditions. Accumulating clinical and experimental evidence indicates that optimal magnesium homeostasis modulates key pathophysiological processes and serves as both a biological and prognostic marker in disorders such as stroke, myocardial infarction, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and renal failure. These disease states commonly originate from two major etiological determinants-hypertension and atherosclerosis-which share a unifying pro-inflammatory mediator: platelet-activating factor (PAF). PAF plays a central role in vascular inflammation by promoting platelet aggregation, macrophage infiltration, leukocyte adhesion, and vasomotor dysregulation. Importantly, magnesium demonstrates an inverse association with both platelet aggregation and PAF activity, underscoring its protective capacity in mitigating vascular inflammation and preserving endothelial function. The objective of this updated literature review is to elucidate the antagonistic interplay between magnesium and PAF, with a focus on its physiological and therapeutic significance across multiple organ systems. While emerging data support a modulatory role of magnesium in PAF-mediated inflammatory pathways, current evidence remains limited. Therefore, further mechanistic, pharmacological, and clinical investigations are warranted to clarify the multifaceted role of magnesium in attenuating PAF-driven disease processes.
