Magnesium Depletion Score and Mortality in Individuals with Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease over a Median Follow-Up of 26 Years.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been associated with increased risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Identification of modifiable risk factors that may contribute to higher risks of mortality could facilitate targeted and intensive intervention strategies in this population. This study aims to examine whether the magnesium depletion score (MDS) is associated with all-cause and CVD mortality among individuals with MASLD or metabolic and alcohol associated liver disease (MetALD).
methodsA total of 3802 participants with MASLD or MetALD were followed up over a median of 26 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III cohort. The MDS was calculated by aggregating four factors influencing the reabsorption capability of the kidneys. The associations between MDS and all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality were quantified using Cox proportional hazard regression models.
resultsIn the combined MASLD + MetALD cohort, a higher MDS (>2) was associated with increased all-cause mortality (HR, 2.52; 95%CI, 1.77-3.61;
conclusionsIn individuals with MASLD or MetALD, higher MDS, indicative of worse global Mg status, was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality. Correcting global Mg deficiency in high-risk MASLD/MetALD patients may have long-term health benefits.
