Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Northern Jordan: Seasonal Morbidity and Characteristics of Patients.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to characterize adult patients admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in northern Jordan. Methods: The study examined medical records of patients diagnosed with DKA from January 2015 to April 2018. Variables analyzed included diabetes type, precipitating illness, admission month, hospital length of stay, and biochemical markers. Results: Out of 232 admissions with DKA, 70% were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and 56% were females. 12% of admissions had a new diagnosis of diabetes, of which 51% had type 2 diabetes. Sepsis (48%), Non-adherence (26%), and diabetic foot infections (18%) were the most encountered precipitating factors for DKA in T1DM. As for T2DM, sepsis (52%), acute coronary syndrome (12%), and pancreatitis (8%) were the most precipitating factors for DKA. High urea levels, high creatinine levels, low phosphorous levels, low hemoglobin levels, and high platelet counts were associated with a longer hospital stay for type 1 diabetes. For type 2 diabetes, low pH on admission, old age, and high Hb A1c within 6 months of admission were factors associated with a prolonged hospital stay. The study found a significant peak of admissions for DKA in both type 1 and type 2 patients in the winter and spring months (Pearson P-value= 0.0013). Conclusion: The results of the present study highlight the seasonal variation in the frequency of DKA hospitalizations. It also highlights sepsis as the most frequent precipitating factor of DKA in both type 1 and type 2 DM patients.
