Systemic Infection Predictive Value of Procalcitonin to Lactic Acid Ratio in Diabetes Ketoacidosis Patients.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Early detection of bacterial infections associated with adequate antibiotic treatment is key to improving diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) outcomes. Our study aimed to investigate the different sepsis markers (including procalcitonin to lactic acid ratio, PLR) to diagnose bacterial infection in patients with DKA within one hour after admission. Methods: A total of 165 patients diagnosed with DKA were enrolled between July 2014 and July 2018 and divided into an infection group (N =62) and a non-infection group (N=103) based on the positive aetiological tests such as blood culture, sputum culture, urine culture, or definite focus of pulmonary, soft tissue, kidney, etc. Results: Our findings suggest the following: 1) leucocytes (threshold above 10×10 Conclusion: This study concludes that leucocyte count (threshold > 10×10
