An "unclassified diabetes" after a long duration of disease in a young subject: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Unclassified diabetes describes diabetes that does not fit into other categories. This category is used temporarily when there is no clear diagnostic category, especially close to the time of diagnosis. This implies that paraclinical investigations or the natural evolution of the disease will allow a definitive classification. We present the case of diabetes initially classified as type 1 in an adolescent. For ten years, the patient had high insulin requirements with negative autoantibodies, significant residual insulin secretion, and for the last 3 months of life, remission of diabetes in the context of a wound of the thigh, before a sudden death from hepatocellular failure, pushing to reconsider the initial diagnosis. This clinical case highlights difficulties in obtaining precision in the etiological diagnosis of diabetes in some patients based either on clinical manifestation, biological assessment, or evolution. It also shows that unclassified diabetes subtypes may not be transient.
