Unmasking delayed recovery in severe diabetic ketoacidosis: clinical and biochemical clues from early resuscitation.
Article in Annals of pediatric endocrinology & metabolism, 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
purposeThis study aimed to explore how the rate of acidosis correction relates to initial clinical status, treatment needs, and short-term outcomes in severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
methodsThis retrospective study reviewed records of patients aged 1-18 with severe DKA admitted to a single tertiary center (January 2009-March 2023). Patients whose pH rose ≥0.05 within 6 hours were assigned to the early recovery group (ERG); the remainder were assigned to the delayed recovery group (DRG). Statistical analyses included group comparisons and regression models to assess clinical and biochemical factors.
resultsFifty admissions met inclusion criteria (ERG n=39; DRG n=11). Compared with the ERG, DRG patients were older (median: 14.1 years vs. 11.8 years) and showed greater weight loss, more altered mentation, and more hyperosmolar presentations, though differences were not significant. Initial laboratory results in the DRG revealed lower pH and bicarbonate with higher blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and C-reactive protein, indicating deeper hypovolemia and inflammation. Despite similar guideline-based fluids and insulin, the DRG gained less weight in 24 hours, suggesting underestimation of fluid deficit. Although the rate of pH improvement differed during the first 6 hours, pH values converged by 24 hours, and time to reach pH 7.30 did not differ significantly.
conclusionThis study clarifies the natural course of acute severe DKA and highlights the importance of precise evaluation of fluid deficits. In patients with elevated BUN, creatinine, and CRP levels, timely and appropriate fluid management strategies are essential to improve outcomes.
