1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: To report the incidence and clinical characteristics of paediatric patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis to the Emergency Department (ED) with new and pre-existing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methodology: A ten-year retrospective data analysis was performed on children under 16 years presenting to the ED with T1DM from January 2010. Demographic and laboratory data were extracted to determine the rates of DKA. Comparative statistics were performed between age groups and pre-existing and newly diagnosed T1DM patients. Results: A total of 196 children with T1DM were included. The mean age of the cohort was 9.3 ± 4.0 years, with female predominance (54%, Conclusion: Children with T1DM presented with unacceptably high rates of DKA and posed a significant medical, psychosocial and financial burden on families and medical services. These findings suggest that a prospective public health campaign to reduce rates of DKA is warranted.
