magnesium(2+) — no detected effect on postoperative atrial fibrillation incidence
Evidence strength: very limited.FindingNull resultreplicated ×1“When the analysis was restricted to the five double-blind, intention-to-treat studies in which AF was the primary outcome (Mg arm, n = 710; control arm, n = 713), Mg did not prevent postoperative AF (odds ratio, 0.94; p = 0.77), and heterogeneity was no longer significant (I(2) = 40%; p = 0.15).”
