Gestational Diabetic Ketoacidosis Complicated by a Probable Postpartum Functional Neurological Disorder Following Severe Preeclampsia and Intrauterine Fetal Demise: A Case Report.

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: Gestational diabetic ketoacidosis (GDKA) is a rare but potentially fatal metabolic emergency associated with significant maternal morbidity and a high risk of fetal complications. Although its metabolic and obstetric complications are well described, functional neurological manifestations occurring during the postpartum period remain rarely reported. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 28-year-old primigravida admitted at 34 weeks and 5 days of gestation for gestational diabetic ketoacidosis complicated by severe preeclampsia and intrauterine fetal demise. Management consisted of intensive care including intravenous fluid resuscitation, continuous insulin infusion, correction of electrolyte disturbances, administration of magnesium sulfate, and emergency cesarean delivery. Metabolic evolution was favorable. On postpartum day 4, the patient developed gait instability characterized by an unsteady gait without impaired consciousness or focal neurological deficits. Symptoms disappeared at rest and exhibited contextual variability. Neuropsychiatric and psychological assessments suggested a functional neurological disorder. Complete remission was observed by postpartum day 11. Discussion: The combination of severe preeclampsia, intrauterine fetal demise, emergency cesarean section, and diabetic ketoacidosis constituted a major psychological stressor that may have contributed to the development of a functional neurological disorder. Although the clinical presentation was highly suggestive of this diagnosis, the absence of brain imaging represents an important limitation of this report. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of prompt multidisciplinary management of gestational diabetic ketoacidosis and draws attention to the possibility of functional neurological disorder in patients developing neurological symptoms following severe obstetric complications.
