Serum Magnesium and Bone Health in Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study From South Asia.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is common in pediatric nephrotic syndrome (NS), yet magnesium (Mg)-a co-factor for vitamin D metabolism and parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion-has been under-studied. Objective To evaluate serum Mg status in children with NS and its relationship with bone health and mineral metabolism. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of consecutively enrolled children with NS (N=370) at a tertiary center. Demographics, NS phenotype, treatment exposure, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)-based bone density, and laboratory parameters-including Mg, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], and intact PTH-were recorded. Associations between Mg and clinical/laboratory variables were assessed using t-tests/ analysis of variance
