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: Diabetic ketoacidosis is one of the most severe acute complications of diabetes mellitus characterised by hyperglycemia, hyperketonemia, and metabolic acidosis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis can decrease severity, hospital stay, and possible mortality. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis among diabetic patients admitted to the department of medicine of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care centre. Data from 1 March 2022 to 1 December 2022 were collected between 1 January 2023 and 1 February 2023 from the hospital records. The ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of the same institute (Reference number: 466/2079/80). All the diabetic patients admitted to the Department of Medicine during our study duration were enrolled for the study. Diabetic patients who left against medical advice and those with incomplete data were excluded from the study. Data were collected from the medical record section. Convenience sampling method was done. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 200 diabetic patients, the prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis was 7 (3.5%) (3.47-3.53, 95% Confidence Interval) among which 1 (14.29%) patients had type I diabetes mellitus and 6 (85.71%) had type II diabetes mellitus patients and the mean HbA1C level was 9.77%. Conclusions: The prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis among diabetes mellitus patients admitted to the department of medicine of a tertiary care centre was found to be higher than in other studies done in similar settings.
