Gurvits Syndrome in the Setting of Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as "black esophagus," is a rare but serious clinical condition characterized by diffuse circumferential necrosis of the esophageal mucosa. It is most commonly associated with states of hemodynamic compromise. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has been identified as a precipitating factor. We present the case of a 56-year-old female patient with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with DKA and melena. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed diffuse circumferential black discoloration of the mid-to-distal esophagus consistent with AEN. Histopathology demonstrated acute inflammation with fungal elements consistent with Candida species. The patient was managed conservatively with intravenous fluids, insulin therapy, proton pump inhibitors, and antifungal treatment, with a favorable clinical outcome. A review of 11 previously reported cases of DKA-associated AEN demonstrates variable clinical presentation but consistently favorable outcomes. This case supports DKA as a precipitating factor for AEN and suggests a potential role of Candida superinfection as a contributing factor in mucosal injury.
