A Case of Severe Metabolic Acidosis in the Setting of a Strict Ketogenic Diet.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Patients with metabolic acidosis often present with obscure, multifactorial etiologies, making efficient diagnosis and treatment key to preventing poor clinical outcomes. This case report describes a patient with severe metabolic acidosis in which the underlying cause was not immediately apparent. After a thorough work-up and history taking, the patient's strict ketogenic diet was identified as the most likely source of his illness. Over multiple days, the patient improved as he resumed a normal diet and was treated for refeeding syndrome. This case highlights the importance of taking a comprehensive social and diet history when assessing a patient with metabolic acidosis. It also highlights the need for physicians to understand and be ready to counsel on the possible effects of fad diets, such as the ketogenic diet.
