Co-occurrence of tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus, and associated risk factors, in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in IJID regions, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 aim of our study was to estimate the pooled prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) co-occurrences, and associated risk factors, in Ethiopia. Methods: In total, 392 articles were identified, and 14 were included in the analysis. The study's quality was assessed using the JBI tool. Data were analyzed using STATA version 16. The pooled prevalences of TB among DM patients and of DM among TB patients, with 95% CI, were estimated. In addition, the pooled OR values for each risk factor were estimated. The study's heterogeneity was assessed using forest plots and the Results: The pooled prevalence of TB among DM patients was 4.14% (95% CI 2.45-5.83%). The pooled prevalence of DM among TB patients was 12.77% (95% CI 6.91-18.62%). Type 1 DM patients had a higher TB risk (OR 2.70, 95% CI 1.41-3.99). Older age (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.38-3.13) and family DM history (OR 3.65, 95% CI 1.89-5.41) were associated with DM co-occurrence among TB patients. Conclusions: Higher prevalences of TB among DM patients and of DM among TB patients were noted in Ethiopia, when compared with the general population. Thus, active screening of DM patients for TB and vice versa is recommended.
