Blood Pressure Control among Hypertensive Diabetic Patients on Follow-Up at Chronic Clinic of Nekemte Referral Hospital in West 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
backgroundHypertension is a prevalent comorbid condition in diabetes, affecting ∼20-60% of patients with diabetes, depending on obesity, ethnicity, and age. Adults with diabetes historically have two or three times higher rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than adults without diabetes.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess blood pressure (BP) control and its predictors among hypertensive diabetic patients on follow-up at the chronic clinic of Nekemte Referral Hospital (NRH) in West Ethiopia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among hypertensive adult patients comorbid with diabetes taking antihypertensive drugs for at least one year in NRH. Both bivariable and multivariable analyses were done. The odds ratio, along with 95% confidence level, was estimated to identify factors associated with uncontrolled BP by using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The level of statistical significance was declared at
resultsA total of 186 study participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 51.2 ± 12.2 years. Blood pressure and blood glucose were controlled in 104 (55.9%) and 106 (57.0%) study participants, respectively. In the multivariable analysis, age ≥60 years (AOR = 4.537, 95% CI = 1.142-18.024,
conclusionCompared to the previous studies, BP was better controlled among hypertensive diabetic patients in the present study. Older age, longer duration with hypertension, cigarette smoking, nonadherence, and uncontrolled glycaemia were predictors of uncontrolled BP. Thus, interventions on modifiable factors should be done to improve BP control of patients' comorbid with diabetes.
