Prevalence and Predictors of Hypovitaminosis D in Ethiopian HIV-Infected Adults.

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
backgroundHypovitaminosis D is associated with bone fracture and cardiovascular disease in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. Currently, there are few data on the magnitude of hypovitaminosis D in people living with HIV in Sub-Saharan country. Therefore, the present study determines the magnitude of hypovitaminosis D in people living with HIV and its associated factors in Ethiopia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 171 adult people living with HIV at Debre Berhan Specialized Hospital. Serum vitamin D was measured. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and p-value <0.05 was used to identify the associated factors of hypovitaminosis D.
resultsIn the present study, the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was 129/171 (75.4%), with 11/171 (6.4%) having vitamin D deficiency and 118/171 (69%) having vitamin D insufficiency. Female sex was significantly associated with hypovitaminosis D (AOR: 3.01, 95% CI = 1.381-6.561, P = 0.006).
conclusionOur study found a high burden of hypovitaminosis D among adult people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. Female sex was associated with hypovitaminosis D.
