Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis Comorbidity and Associated Factors Among Bale Zone Health Institutions, Southeast Ethiopia.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundGlobally, tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus co-morbidity is higher than tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus comorbidity. Considering this, the World Health Organization and the International Union against tuberculosis and lung disease recommend bi-directional screening of the two diseases. However, in Ethiopia, bi-directional screening has not been started yet.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis comorbidity and its predictors among adult tuberculosis patients in Bale Zone Health Institutions, Southeastern Ethiopia. MATERIALS AND
methodsInstitutional-based cross-sectional study carried out using interviewer administered questionnaire, registration review, anthropometric and blood glucose level measurement from March, 30, 2019 to April, 30, 2019. Three hundred twenty-one tuberculosis patients were selected from tuberculosis registration log book using lottery methods. The collected data were checked for completeness, coded and entered in to EpiData3.0.2 and exported to SPSS version 20. Independent variables that had p value less 0.25 were used as candidates for multiple logistic regressions to control confounders. Variables that had significant association were identified by calculating odds ratio, with 95% confidence interval, and p value less than 0.05 used to declare statistical significance.
resultsDiabetes mellitus and tuberculosis comorbidity among adult tuberculosis patients was 5.1% (95% CI: 2.7%, 7.5%). Age with ≥50 years (AOR=3.98, 95% CI: 1.13, 14.36), having extra pulmonary tuberculosis (AOR=3.31, 95% CI: 1.16, 9.44) and being females (AOR=3.8, 95% CI: 1.17, 12.33) were significantly associated with the comorbidity of the two diseases. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis comorbidity was high. Female tuberculosis patients, tuberculosis patients with age ≥50 years and those having extra pulmonary tuberculosis patients should be screened for diabetes mellitus.
