Diabetic ketoacidosis after COVID-19 infection in newly diagnosed patients with diabetes in the Middle East and African countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Introduction: The risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is increased following the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, "COVID-19," however, little evidence is available regarding the prevalence and outcomes of DKA in newly diagnosed patients with diabetes in the Middle East and African countries. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of case reports detailing the prevalence and outcomes of DKA in COVID-19 infected in the above referenced countries. Methods and Subjects: Our search encompassed Medline (via PubMed), Embase (via OVID), Web of Science, Scopus, grey literature sources such as Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD), and the reference lists of the included studies. Results: The results of the current meta-analysis study showed that 17 studies met the search criteria and a total of 22 patients (15 patients with newly type 1 diabetes and seven patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes). About 69.5% of the patients were of Arabian ethnicity. Body mass index (BMI) was reported only for seven patients, with a mean of 25.04 k g/m Conclusions: Covid 19 infection in patients with new diabetes from the Middle East and African countries was associated with increased risk of DKA with high mortality in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
