Diabetes mellitus and its associated factors among human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients on anti-retroviral therapy in Northeast Ethiopia.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and its associated factors among human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients on anti-retroviral therapy in Northeast Ethiopia.
resultsA facility based cross-sectional study was conducted among 408 HIV-infected adults (≥ 18 years old) attending an ART clinic in Northeast Ethiopia from January to March 30, 2018. The mean (± SD) age of studied patients was 37 ± 10.3 years, and 273 (66.9%) were female. Of the total participants, 36 (8.8%, 95% CI 6.4% to 11.8%) had diabetes and 61 (15.0%, 95% CI 11.5% to 18.6%) had impaired fasting glucose level (111-125 mg/dl). Only fourteen (3.4%) participants knew their diabetes status during data collection. In the multivariate analysis, older age (age > 45 years; AOR = 3.51, 95% CI 1.52-8.10, P = 0.003), a family history of diabetes (AOR = 6.46, 95% CI 3.36-21.29, P < 0.001), duration of ART (AOR = 2.67, 95% CI 1.16-6.17, P = 0.021), and hypertension (AOR = 2.62, 95% CI 1.20-5.72, P = 0.016) were independently associated with increased odds of diabetes. These results highlight the need for regular diabetes screening among HIV-infected patients on ART in order to prevent or reduce disease-related outcomes of these patients in this study setting.
