Etiologies and Outcomes of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Cancer Patients: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesDiabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening emergency resulting in significant morbidity and health care utilization. The most common cause of DKA in the general population is insulin nonadherence, but limited data exists on precipitating factors for DKA in cancer patients. In this study, we characterize the demographic and clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with DKA at our comprehensive cancer center.
methodsThis single-center retrospective study evaluated 91 patients with 94 admissions for DKA at our institution between January 2019 and December 2021. Demographic, clinical, and biochemical data were obtained from a review of the electronic medical record. Patient characteristics were summarized using descriptive statistics for continuous variables and categorical variables.
resultsOf the 91 patients, 21% of patients (
conclusionsWe characterized the precipitating factors for DKA based on patients' underlying diabetes status. While insulin non-adherence was the most common cause in patients with known type 1 diabetes, drugs associated with cancer related treatments emerged most common precipitating factor for DKA in cancer patients with underlying type 2 diabetes or drug induced diabetes. A tailored approach with proactive counseling may be helpful in timely recognition and treatment of DKA in cancer patients.
