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

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis is a rare but serious adverse effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. We present a case of a woman in her 40s with type 2 diabetes mellitus hospitalized for revascularization for moyamoya disease who developed empagliflozin-associated euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis despite having stopped the medication before admission. Surgical stress, acute postoperative illness, and decreased carbohydrate intake are postulated to be contributing factors to the development of ketosis in this patient, while near-normal glucose levels initially suggested nondiabetic ketoacidosis physiology and led to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may develop diabetic ketoacidosis during states of relative insulinopenia, most frequently from inadequate medication or intercurrent illness. During periods of carbohydrate deficiency, volume depletion, and upregulation of counter-regulatory stress hormones, SGLT2 inhibitor therapy can promote lipolysis and ketogenesis while maintaining euglycemia. Clinical considerations to ensure safe SGLT2 inhibitor therapy include appropriate holding parameters, timely diagnosis of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, and recognition that the pharmacologic effects of SGLT2 inhibitor treatment may persist beyond several half-lives of elimination.
