Delayed-Onset Hypoglycemia After Levofloxacin Use in a Diabetic Patient.
Article in Case reports 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
We discuss the case of a patient with diabetes on long-term glipizide and stable glucose management who presented with delayed-onset hypoglycemia 6 weeks after initiating levofloxacin for osteomyelitis. The patient presented with neuroglycopenic symptoms, including dysarthria, slurred speech, and syncopal episodes. Serum glucose level was 35 mg/dL, and C-peptide was markedly elevated at 12.42 ng/mL. Hypoglycemia resolved immediately after D50 administration. Discontinuation of glipizide while on levofloxacin did not result in any new hypoglycemic episodes. In previously documented cases, hypoglycemia occurred within days or less than a week after initiating levofloxacin. This report represents an interesting case of delayed-onset hypoglycemia after initiating levofloxacin in a stably managed diabetic patient on long-term glipizide secretagogue.
