Does the severity of diabetic ketoacidosis in children with type 1 diabetes change during the COVID-19 pandemic? A single-center experience from a pediatric intensive care unit.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, health-care services for diseases other than COVID-19 were interrupted, and patient referrals to health institutions were postponed due to their fear of being infected with COVID-19. Under this situation, we conducted this study to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings of COVID-19 in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) hospitalized in our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during the pandemic period, and the impact of the pandemic on these findings.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 55 children aged from 1 month to 18 years old, diagnosed with DKA, and followed up at Istanbul Sehit Prof. Dr. Ilhan Varank Sancaktepe Training and Research Hospital PICU between April 2020 and December 2021.
resultsA total of 55 patients with DKA as a complication of T1DM were admitted to the PICU during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there was no significant difference in pH and HCO
conclusionHigher HbA1c levels of newly diagnosed patients presenting with DKA may be associated with delayed admission to the health institutions due to COVID-19 and the length of insulin-free periods compared to pre-diagnosed patients with T1DM. In conclusion, our results, emphasize the importance of physician's and family's awareness of the symptoms of diabetes in terms of early diagnosis and prevention of DKA during public health measures due to COVID-19.
