1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionAlcohol use is a major public health concern in global settings. It is very common among people living with HIV/AIDS, leading to physical and mental complications.

objectiveTo assess the magnitude of alcohol use and factors among HIV/AIDS positive adults visiting ART clinic at Mizan Tep University Teaching Hospital (MTUTH), Southern Ethiopia from October 2017 to December 2017.

methodsA facility based cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 332 HIV positive adults who came to ART clinic at MTUTH using systemic random sampling technique. Data were entered into EPidata 3.1 version and then analyzed by SPSS version 20. Binary logistic regressions have been used to identify the association between an independent variable with the dependent variable.

resultA total of 332 participants were enrolled in the study with the prevalence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) of 18.4%. Factors associated with alcohol use disorder were sex AOR=3.48 (95% CI: 1.27, 9.59), cigarette smoking AOR=5.12 (95% CI: 4.02, 8.61), "khat" chewing AOR=3.23 (95% CI: 2.06.6.89), and CD4 count of 0-200 AOR = 19.49 (95% CI: 1.74, 218.4).

conclusionThe prevalence of alcohol use disorder was high. It is independently associated with male patients, cigarette/tobacco smokers, khat chewers, and low CD4 count.
