Acute Pancreatitis and Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Special Considerations in Diagnosis and Management.
Article in Case reports 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
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can influence each other, and diagnosing AP in DKA patients is challenging due to overlapping symptoms and laboratory findings. Case Presentation: This case series discusses two adolescents with type 1 diabetes who presented with severe abdominal pain and were diagnosed with both DKA and AP. Both had a history of poor medication adherence. Initial labs showed hyperglycemia, acidosis, and elevated pancreatic enzymes. While DKA symptoms resolved quickly, abdominal pain persisted and imaging confirmed pancreatitis. Treatment included fluids, insulin, pain management, and symptoms management for pain as well as the use of antibiotics and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Both patients improved gradually and were discharged with advice for better diabetes control. Conclusion: Diagnosing AP in DKA is difficult because of similar symptoms and laboratory findings. Imaging can help but is not always definitive. Unnecessary pancreatic enzyme testing and the use of antibiotics, opioid analgesia, and TPN treatments, if not clinically indicated, should be avoided.
