Prevalence and associated factors of anxiety disorder symptoms among people with epilepsy in Mekelle, Ethiopia, 2019: Institutional-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Nursing open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
aimAnxiety can have a profound influence on the health-related quality of life of people with epilepsy and caregivers. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of anxiety disorder among people with epilepsy.
designAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted.
methodFrom 18 April 2019-30 May 2019, systematically selected 300 peoples with epilepsy were recruited. Anxiety was assessed by using the generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7). The data were entered by using Epi Info and analysed by SPSS version 25.
resultThe prevalence of anxiety was 38.3%. Secondary educational status, medication-related side effect, substance use history, seizure-related physical trauma, stress symptoms and a mental illness belief were significantly associated factors. The prevalence of anxiety disorder symptom was high, and it reinforced the need for recognition and treatment of mental disorders in people with epilepsy.
