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
objectiveSARS-CoV-2 infection increases the risk of diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in both adults and children. We investigated the clinical course of new-onset type 2 diabetes in youth presenting with DKA during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsThis single-center retrospective cohort study included 148 subjects with obesity aged 10 to 21 years, admitted with DKA from January 2018 to January 2022. Groups were defined by the presence of DKA precipitant: any infection (n = 38, 26%), which included the SARS-CoV-2 (n = 10, 7%) and other infection (n = 28, 19%) groups, and no infection (n = 110, 74%). The primary outcome was insulin discontinuation within a 12-month follow-up.
resultsThe mean age was 14.9 years (IQR, 13.8-16.5), and age-adjusted body mass index (%) was 99.1 (IQR, 98.0-99.5) with 85.8% identifying as Black or Hispanic. There were no differences in DKA severity among groups. The incidence of DKA was higher during the pandemic (March 2020-January 2022, n = 117) than in the prepandemic period (January 2018-February 2020, n = 31). Within the first year after the acute DKA episode, 46 patients discontinued all insulin within 9 months (IQR, 4-14). Sixteen subjects restarted insulin 10 months (IQR, 6.5-11.0) after insulin discontinuation. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 at diagnosis was not associated with the likelihood (P =.57) or timing (P =.27) of discontinuing all insulin within 1 year, nor was having any infection.
conclusionThe incidence of DKA at the onset of type 2 diabetes was higher during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic than in the prepandemic period. SARS-CoV-2 infection was not associated with DKA severity or insulin discontinuation within the first year of diagnosis in youth with new-onset type 2 diabetes and DKA.
