Severe Acute Kidney Injury Secondary to Rhabdomyolysis in Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA): A Case Report.

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
Delayed diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyolysis in diabetic emergencies may lead to irreversible kidney damage and progress to chronic kidney disease. Therefore, early detection and correction of electrolyte disturbances, resulting from diabetes and risk factors for rhabdomyolysis, is essential to avoid complications and renal function improvement. In this case report, a patient with two weeks history of polyuria, polydipsia, and nocturia showed up at ED with epigastric abdominal pain, nausea, and non-bloody vomiting. The patient was in a diabetic ketoacidosis episode in which rhabdomyolysis developed and complicated into acute renal failure. Few case reports in the literature have mentioned the association of hypophosphatemia, severe acidosis, and high osmolarity as contributors to rhabdomyolysis leading to acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with hyperglycemic emergency cases. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, our unique case sheds some light on an overlooked complication in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), rhabdomyolysis, in which electrolyte abnormalities are the most probable trigger.
