Fluid Therapy For Pediatric Patients With Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Current Perspectives.
Review in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) is a preventable life-threatening complication of type 1 diabetes. Fluids form a crucial component of DKA therapy, goals being the restoration of intravascular, interstitial and intracellular compartments. Hydration reduces hyperglycemia by decreased counter-regulatory hormones, enhanced renal glucose clearance and augmented insulin sensitivity. However, for the last several decades, fluids in DKA have been subject of intense debate owing to their possible role in causation of cerebral edema (CE). Rehydration protocols have been modified to prevent major osmotic shifts, correct electrolyte imbalances and avoid cerebral or pulmonary edema. In DKA, a conservative deficit assumption ranging from 6.5% to 8.5% is preferred. Normal saline (0.9%) has been the traditional fluid of choice, for both, volume resuscitation and deficit replacement in DKA. However, the risk of AKI with its liberal chloride content remains a contentious issue. On the other hand, balanced crystalloids with restricted chloride content need more exploration in children with DKA, both with respect to DKA resolution and AKI. Although fluids are an integral part of DKA management, a fine balance is needed to avoid under-hydration or over-hydration during DKA management. In this narrative review, we discuss the current perspectives on fluids in pediatric DKA.
