Recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis in Saudi patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a retrospective study from a tertiary hospital.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. 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
backgroundDiabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially fatal complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). To our knowledge, limited studies have examined the risk factors of recurrent DKA in the Saudi T1DM population.
objectivesTo identify factors contributing to recurrent DKA in Saudi patients with T1DM. By identifying the contributing factors for DKA recurrence the disease burden can be mitigated by making targeted interventions.
designRetrospective.
settingTertiary care center, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. PATIENTS AND
methodsSaudi patients with T1DM admitted with DKA between 2021 to 2023 were included. A comparative analysis was performed between patients with a single recurrence of DKA and those with multiple recurrent admissions.
main outcome measuresAssociation between multiple variables and recurrent DKA. SAMPLE SIZE: 245 Saudi patients with T1DM.
resultsA total of 245 Saudi patients with T1DM were included. A significantly higher proportion of females were observed in the multiple recurrent DKA group (73.1% vs. 48.5%,
conclusionThis study has identified several risk factors contributing to recurrent DKA episodes among Saudi patients with T1DM. By increasing awareness of these factors among both healthcare providers and the community, we can develop more effective prevention strategies and ultimately reduce the incidence of recurrent DKA. LIMITATIONS: A retrospective study and single-center experience.
