Hypoglycemia-Induced Irreversible Brain Injury: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hypoglycemia-induced brain injury, though less common than hyperglycemia, can lead to significant neurological sequelae and mortality. We present a case of a 76-year-old female with a history of poorly controlled diabetes who presented with altered mental status and unresponsiveness. Despite the correction of hypoglycemia and supportive medical management, the patient's neurological status did not improve. Neurological examination revealed myoclonus and severe encephalopathy, prompting further investigation. Imaging studies, including contrast-enhanced CT and MRI of the head, demonstrated findings suggestive of metabolic brain injury, consistent with hypoglycemia-induced encephalopathy. Despite treatment, the patient's condition did not improve, and a decision was made to transition towards comfort-focused care with palliative extubation. This case underscores the challenges in managing hypoglycemia-induced encephalopathy and highlights the importance of timely recognition and intervention in preventing irreversible neurological damage.
