Bilateral Tubo-Ovarian Abscess as an Unusual Trigger of Diabetic Ketoacidosis in a Woman With Type 2 Diabetes: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Case reports in obstetrics and gynecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Tubo-ovarian abscess is a serious complication of pelvic inflammatory disease that often requires surgical management. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening metabolic emergency most seen in Type 1 diabetes but can rarely occur in Type 2 diabetes. The simultaneous occurrence of TOA and DKA is extremely rare, highlighting a clinically important association. Case Presentation: We report a 37-year-old woman with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with severe abdominal pain, fever, and metabolic decompensation diagnosed as DKA. On workup, CT scan revealed bilateral tubo-ovarian abscesses. She was admitted to the intensive care unit and managed appropriately. Persistent fever with elevated CRP prompted laparoscopic drainage of both abscesses, resulting in clinical improvement. Conclusion: Bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess can precipitate diabetic ketoacidosis in women with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recognizing gynecologic sepsis as a potential precipitant is crucial for timely management.
