Diabetic Ketoacidosis Caused by Acute Pancreatitis Results in Severe Hypertriglyceridemia: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical medicine insights. Endocrinology and diabetes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute complication of diabetes that mainly occurs in type 1 diabetes. However, it can also occur in type 2 diabetes, although less commonly. One of the rare causes of this condition is acute pancreatitis. While hypertriglyceridemia is a known complication of DKA, triglyceride levels higher than 2000 are an unusual finding. We present a case of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus in a patient who came to the hospital with epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. Subsequent blood tests revealed hyperglycemia, ketonuria, metabolic acidosis, and increased levels of amylase and lipase, leading to a simultaneous diagnosis of DKA, acute pancreatitis, and very severe hypertriglyceridemia. In patients experiencing abdominal pain and severe diabetic complications, acute pancreatitis should always be considered as a possible diagnosis, and triglyceride levels should be tested to identify hypertriglyceridemia as a potential cause of pancreatitis or complications of DKA.
