Determinants of poorly controlled asthma among asthmatic patients in Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia: a case control study.
Article in BMC research notes, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 assess determinants of poorly controlled asthma among asthmatic patients on follow up at Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia. A facility based case control study involving chart review and patient interview was conducted from April 01/2017 to May 30/2017. Consecutive sampling method was used to select 121 cases and 121 controls. Descriptive statistics were used to present socio demographic data and drug prescription pattern while logistic regression was used to identify predictors of poorly controlled asthma.
resultsFrom a total of 242 studied asthmatic patients, 52.9% of controls and 44.6% of cases were males. Poor knowledge about asthma [Adjusted odd ratio(AOR) = 7.30; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.72-30; P = 0.007], negative attitude about asthma [AOR = 5.10; 95% CI 1.40-18.7; P = 0.014], moderate asthma [AOR = 13.47; 95% CI 2.69-47.23; P = 0.002] and non-adherence to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) [AOR = 8.52%; 95% CI 2.41-13.45; P = 0.001] were determinants of poorly controlled asthma.
