A Case of Diabetic Ketoacidosis With Severe Hypertriglyceridemia and Slowly Resolving Metabolic Acidosis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a critical metabolic complication observed in newly diagnosed cases of type 1 diabetes. Severe hypertriglyceridemia, diagnosed in this case, is a rare consequence of DKA. A six-year-old female child presented to the casualty with drowsiness, reduced oral acceptance, difficulty in breathing, hyperglycemia for the past four hours, and polyuria for the past two and a half months. On examination, tachypnea and Kussmaul breathing were present, and the patient was drowsy and confused with a Glasgow coma scale score of 12/15. Grossly lipemic serum was obtained during routine sampling with deranged international normalized ratio (INR), severe hypertriglyceridemia, and refractory metabolic acidosis. According to the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) guidelines 2023, maintenance fluids were administered intravenously as per blood sugar levels with potassium supplementation, including a deficit of 10%. Insulin was given intravenously at 0.1 IU/kg with a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
