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

backgroundDiabetes chronic complications are major causes of morbidity and mortality, among which diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) stands out. One of the tools to screen DPN is the Michigan neuropathy screening instrument. However, there is no data compiled using this tool to assess the prevalence and its determinants in Jimma. So, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of DPN and its determinants among patients with diabetes mellitus at Jimma University Medical Center

resultsThe mean age of participants was 50.1 ± 14.28 years. The study finding showed that the prevalence of DPN was 53.6% among study participants. According to the multivariate logistic regression age above 40 years (AOR = 4.57; 95% CI: 1.50, 13.9), above 50 years (AOR = 6.5; 95% CI: 2.24, 18.79), duration of diabetes above 5 years (AOR = 3.06; 95% CI: 1.63, 5.77), duration above 10 years (AOR = 7.1; 95% CI: 2.99, 17.28), physical inactivity (AOR = 2.02; 95% CI: 1.14, 3.55), and smoking (current smoker AOR = 7.96, 95% CI: 3.22, 19.64; former smoker (AOR = 2.65; 95% CI: 1.22, 5.77) were independent predictors of DPN among study participants.

conclusionAlmost half of the study participants had DPN. Age above 40 years, diabetes duration of above 5 years, physical inactivity, and smoking were significantly associated with DPN. Early detection and appropriate interventions are important among patients with age above 40 years, physically inactive, smokers, and diabetes duration of above 5 years.
