Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis in a Pregnant Woman With Severe COVID-19: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) of pregnancy is an uncommon but serious condition that poses a substantial risk to the fetus. The physiological state of pregnancy itself predisposes women to ketosis and ketoacidosis, which can be further exacerbated by acute stressors such as infection. In this article, we describe a case of a pregnant woman with gestational diabetes and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring mechanical ventilation who developed euglycemic DKA during her hospital course. Despite treating the patient with standard DKA protocol, fetal heart monitoring was non-reassuring and, hence, a cesarean section was performed. Postoperatively, her DKA resolved; however, she was maintained on supportive ventilation for continued management of her severe COVID-19 infection. In light of the ongoing pandemic, it is essential that healthcare teams closely monitor pregnant women presenting with COVID-19 infection for early signs of euglycemic DKA so that treatment may be initiated early and feto-maternal complications are avoided.
