Successful Management of Extreme Hyperglycemia (134 mmol/L) Secondary to Chronic Pancreatitis Causing Critical Hyperosmolar Coma: 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
Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by extreme hyperglycemia, high plasma osmolality, and severe dehydration without significant ketoacidosis. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality, which range from 10% to 20%. We report a case of a 50-year-old man with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus secondary to chronic alcoholic pancreatitis presenting with severe HHS and coma. His initial blood glucose level was 134 mmol/L (2420 mg/dL), and serum osmolality was 416 mOsm/kg. Despite the critical condition at admission, the patient responded well to intensive therapy, including insulin infusion and intravenous fluids, and could be discharged without any neurological sequelae.
