1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: patients with chronic non-communicable diseases (chronic liver diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, neurologic diseases, chronic kidney diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension), primarily poor, rural and neglected populations, have had difficulty accessing health care and have been severely impacted both socially and financially in during the pandemic. As a result, this study was designed to assess the perceived impact of COVID-19 on routine care of chronic non-communicable disease patients in Ethiopia. Methods: a cross-section survey was conducted among 404 participants from April 1 Results: of the 422 participants, 404 responded for a response rate of 95.7%. One out of two (203, 50.2%) participants was aged 40 to 50 years. Ninety-one out of hundred (367, 90.8%) participants continued to receive routine care face-to-face during COVID-19. One-third (141, 34.9%) of study participants had good management of the chronic non-communicable diseases care in the middle of pandemic. A total of 167(41.34%) participants thought they were moderately affected changes in healthcare services since the COVID-19 outbreak. Nearly one-third (130, 32.2%) of participants were sometimes affected by medication shortages since the start of COVID-19. Conclusion: this study highlights that most participants continued to receive routine care face-to-face during the COVID-19. About forty-one out of 100 participants perceived that they were moderately affected changes in healthcare services since the outbreak of COVID-19. One-third of participants sometimes perceived that they were affected by medication shortages since the start of COVID-19.
