Undernutrition and Associated Risk Factors among Adult HIV/AIDS Patients Attending Antiretroviral Therapy at Public Hospitals of Bench Sheko Zone, Southwest Ethiopia.
Article in Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Even though there are advancements in the treatment of patients with HIV, many deaths are related to undernutrition. Despite this fact, the burden of undernutrition and associated factors among adults receiving ART is a significant shortcoming in the study area. A cross-sectional study was done in public hospitals of the Bench-Sheko zone. Face-to-face interviews were used to gather information. Odds ratio with a 95% confidence level was used to identify determinants of undernutrition. The proportion of undernutrition, normal, and overweight were 29.2%, 61.2%, and 9.6% respectively. Food insecurity, poor ART adherence, low CD4 count, and substance use were factors associated with under nutrition among HIV patients. Undernutrition was so high in comparison to other studies in Ethiopia; the local concerned bodies should focus on identified risk factors for improving HIV/AIDS treatment via health education, nutritional assistance and counseling.
