Case Report: Diazoxide-induced diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient with insulinoma.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Definitive management of insulinoma is challenging as curative surgery is associated with a considerable risk of morbidity and mortality. The successful long-term use of diazoxide for patients diagnosed with insulinoma has been described, but rarely, the use of diazoxide can be complicated by diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This case report describes a frail elderly patient with high surgical risk diagnosed with pancreatic head insulinoma whose initial treatment with diazoxide was complicated by a hyperglycemic crisis. Her insulinoma was eventually managed with endoscopic ultrasound-guided-radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) with complete resolution of hypoglycemic episodes. This case highlights the importance of monitoring for side effects of diazoxide, especially in the elderly, and the role of EUS-RFA as an emerging non-surgical treatment modality for insulinoma.
