Prevalence and associated factors of overweight/obesity among type2 diabetic outpatients in Southwest Ethiopia.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeType 2 diabetes mellitus is a major global health threat worldwide. Obesity and overweight is major risk factor for its development. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of overweight/obesity among diabetic outpatients at Jimma Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia.
methodsHospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted during March 02 to June 30, 2020 among systematically selected participants at the study area. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression were used to identify the factors associated with outcome variable. Variables with a p value of<0.25 on bivariable logistic regression were considered candidates for multivariable regression. On multivariable logistic regression variables with p-value of <0.05 were considered as significantly associated with overweight/obesity.
resultsA total of 334 participants with mean age of 51.42 ± 13.33 years were included in the study. The prevalence of overweight/obesity among the study population was 36.2%. According to multivariable logistic regression analysis, residence (AOR = 1.8, 95%CI:1, 3), higher income tercile (AOR = 3.4, 95%CI:1.8, 6.7), family history of overweight and obesity (AOR = 1.9, 95%CI:1.1,3.4), comorbid hypertension (AOR = 2.4, 95%CI:1.4,4) and physical inactivity (AOR = 2.1, 95%CI:1.2,3.5) were significantly associated with overweight/obesity.
conclusionThere was a high prevalence of overweight/obesity among study participants. It was found that higher income tercile, residence, family history of overweight and obesity, comorbid hypertension and physical inactivity were significantly associated with overweight/obesity.
