Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum and diabetic ketoacidosis in fulminant type 1 diabetes: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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
A 41-year-old woman was referred to our emergency department with a 3-day history of upper abdominal pain. We diagnosed her with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) after laboratory tests indicated a blood glucose level of 569 mg/dL, positive urine ketone bodies and metabolic acidosis. Plain computed tomography (CT) scan revealed free gas surrounding the porta hepatis and gastric pylorus, which disappeared on the subsequent contrast-enhanced CT scan. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated no perforations; therefore, we assumed that the free gas was caused by spontaneous pneumoperitoneum. The patient had fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus, as evidenced by her glycated hemoglobin A1c level of 6.9%, reduced insulin secretion and negative islet-specific autoantibodies. Pneumoperitoneum did not recur with conservative treatment, and DKA improved with intravenous fluids and insulin administration. Conservative management of DKA with spontaneous pneumoperitoneum may be considered if the patient's general condition is stable and there are no signs of peritoneal irritation.
