Potential adverse drug events and its predictors among hospitalized patients at medical center in Ethiopia: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Potential adverse drug event (PADE) is a medication error with the potential to cause associate degree injury however that does not cause any injury, either due to specific circumstances, chance, or as a result of the error being intercepted and corrected. This study aimed to assess the incidence, contributing factors, predictors, severity, and preventability of PADEs among hospitalized adult patients at Jimma Medical Center. A prospective observational study was conducted among hospitalized adult patients at a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia. Logistic regression was performed to identify factors predicting PADE occurrence. P-value < 0.05 was considered for statistical significance. A total of 319 patients were included. About 50.5% of them were females. The mean ± SD age of the participants was 43 ± 17.6 years. Ninety-four PADEs were identified. Number of medications (adjusted OR = 5.12; 95% CI: 2.01-13.05; p = 0.001), anticoagulants (adjusted OR = 2.51; 95% CI: 1.22-5.19; p = 0.013), anti-seizures (adjusted OR = 21.96; 95% CI: 6.57-73.39; p < 0.0001), anti-tuberculosis (adjusted OR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.002-4.59, p = 0.049), and Elixhauser comorbidity Index ≤ 15 (adjusted OR = 6.24; 95% CI: 1.48-26.25, p = 0.013) were independent predictors of PADEs occurrence. About one-third of patients admitted to the hospital experienced PADEs.
