Magnitude of Hypertension and Associated Factors Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus Positive Adults Receiving Anti-Retroviral Therapy at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, Northwest, Ethiopia.
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, 2 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
backgroundPeople living with human immunodeficiency virus are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. Current evidence on the proportion of hypertension is essential to inform policymaker to strengthen interventions and regular monitoring of hypertension, yet information is scarce concerning hypertension in this study area.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the magnitude of hypertension and associated factors among human immunodeficiency virus-positive adults receiving antiretroviral therapy at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia.
methodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was employed. Data were collected from systematically selected 412 participants using pre-tested, interviewer administered structured questionnaire. Data were entered and coded using Epi-data version 3.1 and analyzed using STATA version 14. The assumption of the logistic regression model was checked using a correlation matrix and Hosmer and Lemeshow's tests. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted.
resultsIn the present study, the prevalence of hypertension among human immunodeficiency virus-positive adults who received antiretroviral therapy was found to be 41.3% (95% CI; 36.7-46.0). Age groups 35-45 years (AOR: 2.48, 95% CI: 1.17, 5.27), greater than 45 years (AOR: 5.00, 95% CI: 2.190, 11.44), no physical exercise (AOR: 2.72, 95% CI: 1.33, 5.57), body mass index greater than or equal to 25 kg/m
conclusionIn the current study, the magnitude of hypertension was high among HIV-positive adults. Therefore, educating about the use of lifestyle change, counseling the use of regular physical activities, promoting weight reduction, and intervention in this situation are highly recommended.
