1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has been the hallmark of a life-threatening medical emergency for poorly controlled or newly diagnosed type 1 diabetics. In the last two decades, this traditional association has been challenged with increasing reports of type 2 diabetics presenting with DKA. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with known type 2 diabetes who presented in DKA and was found to have pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A link between diabetes mellitus and pancreatic cancer has been investigated, but the literature remains inconclusive as to whether diabetes mellitus (DM) is a cause or result of pancreatic cancer or simply the confluence of two common entities. Previous case reports of pancreatic tumors presenting with DKA all represented neuroendocrine tumors. Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas should be considered in the list of precipitants for DKA in type 2 DM.
