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

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disease primarily associated with elevated blood glucose levels in the body. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most feared acute presentation of diabetes mellitus (DM) in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is a relatively rare complication of DM in which the blood glucose levels are usually less than 250 mg/dl with an elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis. It can be a diagnostic challenge due to normal blood glucose levels and often can be overlooked. Physicians should be aware of EDKA; prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical in the timely management of the condition to prevent complications. We present a case of EDKA in a 74-year-old female precipitated by a urinary tract infection which was identified and treated promptly with insulin and dextrose infusion. In addition to that, an important difference between British and American guidelines has been highlighted.
