Factors associated with noncommunicable disease among adults in Mecha district, Ethiopia: A case control study.
Trial report in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
backgroundIn Ethiopia, the incidence and prevalence of noncommunicable diseases are rising. Within the country, the magnitude of these diseases varies from region to region. However, information about factors associated with noncommunicable disease is limited in the study area. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify factors associated with noncommunicable disease among adults in Mecha district.
methodsCommunity-based case-control study was carried out among 728 cases and 2907 controls from February1-August 30/2017. The study participants were chosen using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaire. Fasting blood glucose level was measured in the morning after 8hours of fasting. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 software was used to enter and analyze data. Crude and adjusted Odds ratios were done for each explanatory variable at 95% confidence level.
resultsThe likelihood of developing noncommunicable disease was higher among participants who drank alcohol [AOR = 1.72, 95% CI: (1.3, 2.1)] and coffee [AOR = 4.54, 95% CI: (3.4, 5.9)], did not take vegetables [AOR = 2. 30, 95% CI: (1.6, 3.1)] and fruits [AOR = 2.04, 95% CI: (1.4, 2.9)], took packed oil [AOR = 2.35, 95% CI: (1.7, 3.1)], overweight or obesity [AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: (1.3, 3.8)] and physically inactive [AOR = 1.71, 95% CI: (1.2, 2.4)].
conclusionOf those assessed, the main factors associated with noncommunicable disease were drinking alcohol and coffee, not taking vegetables and fruits, taking packed oil, being overweight and physically inactive. Thus, the finding suggests changing the dietary habit of the community to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, use of unsaturated fat for cooking, to avoid consumption of alcohol and to decrease taking coffee, to do physical activity and weight reduction.
