"SGLT2 Inhibitor-Associated Diabetic Ketoacidosis in a Pediatric Patient: An Off- Label Use Case Report".
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 7-year-old boy presented with new-onset type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and moderate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The patient presented with polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss along with reduced activity and excessive sleepiness. Initial blood tests revealed elevated blood glucose levels, high anion-gap metabolic acidosis, and ketonuria. The patient was treated with fluid resuscitation, insulin infusion, and electrolyte replacement, which resolved within three days. During medication reconciliation, the patient was administered empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, by a family member without medical supervision. This case highlights the challenges in managing pediatric diabetes, potential risks of unauthorized medication use, and need for comprehensive family education in diabetes care. This also raises questions regarding the safety and benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in children under 10 years of age with type 1 diabetes mellitus, an area that requires further research.
