1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The initial presentation of pediatric diabetes is variable, making prompt diagnosis and treatment challenging. The overlap between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and presence of developmental delays can complicate diagnosis, resulting in delays and severe illness at presentation. Here we describe a case of a 13-year-old male with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who presented with severe diabetic ketoacidosis, multiple organ failure, and shock. Within 2 weeks of this initial presentation, he had further clinical decompensation due to an intestinal perforation. Cultures from resected gastrointestinal tissue grew mucormycosis, protracting his hospital stay and recovery. He was able to go home several months later with remarkable improvement. This case highlights the necessity of careful history taking and early testing, and how investigation for rare complications of diabetes is vital when patients do not improve as expected.
