Construction and validation of a clinical prediction model for diabetic ketoacidosis.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common and serious acute complication of diabetes mellitus. Globally, its incidence is on the rise, posing a serious threat to the life, health and quality of life of diabetic patients. In current clinical practice, although a variety of indicators are used to determine DKA, these indicators often have a lag and cannot effectively predict the occurrence of DKA at an early stage, resulting in some patients missing the best time for treatment. Objective: To investigate the risk factors for the development of DKA and establish a prediction model based on the information of type II diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 288 patients were collected in this study out of which 74 patients developed DKA. The patients enrolled in this study were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set according to a ratio of 7:3, with 201 patients in the training set and 87 patients in the validation set. The patients' past medical history, dietary habits and relevant information during hospitalization were collected separately to study the correlation factors affecting the emergence of DKA in patients and to establish a prediction model. Results: Possibly relevant factors were included in a one-way logistic regression, and after analyzing the results: history of infection, dietary status, duration of diabetes mellitus longer than 3 years, history of smoking, history of alcohol consumption, abnormalities in liver function, abnormalities in HbA1c, and hypokalaemia were potential risk factors for the development of DKA, Conclusion: This model provides a predictive tool for clinicians to identify high-risk patients with DKA at an early stage, which can help to take targeted preventive and intervention measures before the onset of the disease. However, the model was developed and internally validated using hospital-based data and that external validation is required before wider clinical application.
