Dietary practice and associated factors among type 2 diabetic patients having followed up at the University of Gondar Comprehensive specialized hospital, northwest Ethiopia, 2019.

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
backgroundDiabetes is a chronic, metabolic disorder characterized by elevated level of blood glucose. In order to delay and prevent diabetes related complications, healthy meal planning and leading active life are very crucial. However, appropriate feeding practice among type 2 diabetic patients is low in many developing countries including Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess dietary practice and associated factors among type 2 diabetic patients.
methodsInstitution based cross sectional study was conducted from July to December 2019. A total of 422 type 2 diabetic patients who had follow up at the diabetes clinic of the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized hospital were include in the study. Logistic regression was used to see the strength of the association between dependent and independent variables. In the logistic regression, both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis were computed to identify factors associated with dietary practice.
resultsThe overall prevalence of good dietary practice among type 2 diabetic patients was 46.7 % [95 % CI: 41.7, 51.4]. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis attending secondary and above education [AOR = 4.08, 95 % CI: 1.76, 9.46], high wealth status [AOR = 5.34, 95 % CI: 2.72, 10.50], presence of family support [AOR = 2.54, 95 % CI: 1.40, 4.63], and absence of difficulty of choosing food [AOR = 2.27, 95 % CI: 1.47, 3.53] were significantly associated with good dietary practice.
conclusionsLess than half of the patients with type 2 diabetes had good dietary practice. Dietary practice was good among high economic status, presence of family support, high educational level and no difficulty of choosing food. Therefore, strengthening income generating activities, improving literacy rate of nations, developing family engagement and food choosing strategies by the health care providers, policy makers and the Government are very crucial to improve good dietary practice among type 2 diabetic patients.
