Severe malnutrition as a cause of transient carbohydrate metabolism disorders which evolved into hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state.

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
The hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS) is a very severe condition characterised by hyperosmolality, hyperglycaemia and dehydration without significant ketosis. The article presents the case of a 14.5-year-old cachectic patient with diagnosed HHS. Appropriate treatment per the ISPAD Guidelines was implemented. After metabolic stabilisation was achieved, the patient was transferred for further treatment to the Pediatric Gastroenterology Department due to her life-threatening cachexia. Normal glucose levels were observed during hospitalisation and the patient required no further insulin supplementation. Unfortunately, two months after discharge from hospital, the patient suffered sudden death at home. The patient did not live until full diabetological diagnostics could be performed. The transient hyperglycaemia may have been caused by a very early stage of type 1 diabetes (pre-diabetes), malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus (MRDM) or stress-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH). The case demonstrates that HHS can develop not only secondary to diabetes, but also be a severe complication of transient carbohydrate metabolism disorders in the course of cachexia.
