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

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening complication of diabetes and is considered a medical emergency. Euglycemic DKA (EKDA) is a variant of DKA with a normal or minimally elevated glucose level <200 mg/dl. The condition can be difficult to diagnose due to the relatively normal glucose levels. Pregnancy, infection, and a low-calorie intake are some of the contributing common etiologies of EDKA. Despite a rapid increase in scientific publications on COVID-19, there are still knowledge gaps regarding the course of COVID-19 in some patient subset. This is especially the case for pregnant women. In this case report, we discuss the course of COVID-19 infection in a pregnant woman with gestational diabetes who developed severe euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis triggered by various precipitating factors, including starvation, caused by COVID-19 infection and its gastrointestinal effects.
