Dietary and serum magnesium in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a case-control study.

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
Introduction: Magnesium is essential in numerous physiological processes, including the inflammatory response. However, its role in the pathogenesis and progression of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess dietary magnesium intake and serum magnesium levels in children with JIA and to evaluate their potential impact on the clinical course of the disease. Material and methods: This case-control study included 42 children with JIA and 67 healthy controls aged 2 to 18 years. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis was diagnosed according to International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria. Dietary magnesium intake was assessed in 26 JIA patients using a food frequency questionnaire, which collected information on the weekly consumption of foods rich in magnesium. The average weekly and daily magnesium intake was calculated and compared with national and international dietary recommendations. Serum magnesium levels were measured using the colorimetric method. Results: Children with JIA had significantly lower dietary magnesium intake (median: 227.71 mg/day vs. 261.18 mg/day, Conclusions: Children with JIA demonstrate significantly lower dietary and serum magnesium levels than their healthy peers. Larger pediatric studies are needed to clarify the potential contribution of magnesium to the development and clinical course of JIA.
