Fatal Pulmonary Thromboembolism in Patients with Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Seven-Case Series and Review of the Literature.
Review in Academic forensic pathology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Diabetes mellitus is a well-recognized risk factor for arterial thrombosis, however its relationship to venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adults is still debated. We report here seven cases of fatal pulmonary thromboembolism in adults with diabetic ketoacidosis as the underlying cause. In four of seven cases, there was no prior diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and patients were newly diagnosed either upon presenting to the hospital in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or at the time of autopsy by the vitreous glucose concentration. None of the patients had family history, recent surgery, recent trauma, long distance travel, or other strong risk factors for VTE. Only two patients had a body mass index greater than 35 kg/m
