Prevalence of chronic kidney disease and associated factors among patients with chronic illness in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in SAGE open medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Objective: The main aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide summarized evidence on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and associated factors among patients with chronic illness in Ethiopia. Method: Databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect were searched. In addition, gray literatures were searched manually from university repositories. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was used to select potential studies. Microsoft Excel 2013 sheet template was used to extract data. The quality of included studies was assessed by utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. STATA software version 14.0 is used to compute the estimated pooled prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease. Result: Twelve articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included. The pooled estimate of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses in Ethiopia is 21.71% (95% confidence interval: 17.67, 25.74). The highest prevalence of chronic kidney disease among patients with chronic illnesses is from Oromia (32.55% (confidence interval: 19.91, 45.19)). Glomerular filtration rate showed a comparable pooled prevalence from Cockroft-Gault and MDRD methods; 22.38% (confidence interval: 15.83, 28.92), 22.18 (confidence interval: 18.01, 26.34), respectively. Hypertensives become more likely to have chronic kidney disease compared with normotensive patients, (odds ratio = 3.01, 95% confidence interval: 1.33, 6.81). Conclusion: Prevalence of chronic kidney disease among chronic illness patients was significantly high. Hypertension is significantly associated with chronic kidney disease. Hence, we recommend that continuous screening of possible risk factors and proper follow-up and management strategies should be designed.
