Predictors of Metabolic Syndrome Among People Living with HIV in Gedeo-Zone, Southern-Ethiopia: A Case-Control Study.
Article in HIV/AIDS (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundIntensive access to antiretroviral therapy improved the prognosis of HIV. As a result, a non-communicable disease risk marker known as metabolic syndrome (MS) has emerged. It is a public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. However, there is little literature on predictors of MS among people living with HIV (PLHIVs) in the study area context. PURPOSE: To identify predictors of metabolic syndrome among PLHIVs, Gedeo Zone, Southern-Ethiopia.
methodsHealth institutions-based unmatched case-control study was conducted. All HIV-infected adult persons who are receiving routine care in the randomly selected two hospitals and two health centers of the Gedeo zone, southern Ethiopia were involved in the study, conducted from December 29
resultsA total of 633 (139 cases and 494 controls) PLHIVs were included in the study. The multivariable analysis result found that age (AOR=1.09, 95% CI (1.05-1.12)); educational status being completed secondary school (AOR=0.22, 95% CI (0.02-0.42)); occupational status being of students (AOR=0.11, 95% CI (0.24-0.51)); wealth index being in the middle quintile (AOR=0.22, 95% CI (0.06-0.79)); ART status exposed to ART (AOR=3.07, 95% CI (1.37-6.89)); total physical activity state being physically active (AOR=0.36, 95% CI (0.16-0.79)), and engaged in low levels physical activity (AOR=3.83, 95% CI (1.46-10.05)) were the factors significantly associated with MS.
conclusionWhile education, occupation, wealth index, antiretroviral therapy status, total physical activity, and lower physical activity levels were concluded by the study as modifiable predictors of metabolic syndrome, age was found as a non-modifiable independent risk of metabolic syndrome. There is a need for an ongoing effort to realize an integrated care plan that addresses both the routine care and regular screening programs to reduce the risks associated with MS and its traits in these subjects.
