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

A 51-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus developed euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) in the post-operative setting after robotic-assisted sleeve gastrectomy. She developed tachycardia on post-operative day (POD) 1 before developing altered mental status and tachypnea on POD 2. The diagnosis was ultimately made by discovering ketonuria in the setting of anion gap metabolic acidosis despite repeatedly normal blood glucose levels. Pre-operatively, her blood glucose levels were managed with sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor-containing combination pill, Invokamet®, as well as basal-bolus insulin regimen consisting of aspart (NovoLog®) and glargine-lixisenatide (Soliqua®). SLGT-2 inhibitors have been associated with an increased risk of euDKA, particularly in the context of severe bodily stressors such as surgery. EuDKA is a difficult diagnosis to make because of the lack of characteristic severe hyperglycemia that is typical of DKA. Clinicians should be mindful of euDKA in the post-operative setting of diabetic patients, particularly for those on SGLT-2 inhibitors.
