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: Overweight/obesity is an emerging public health problem in low income countries. Currently sub-Saharan African countries are facing a double burden of malnutrition. Evidence has shown that overweight/obesity is becoming a problem for people living with HIV. But little is known in our setting. Thus, this study is designed to assess the association between overweight/obesity and ART drug regimen among adult HIV patients in Gamo zone public health facilities southern Ethiopia. Objective: To assess the association between overweight/obesity and ART drug regimen among adult HIV patients in Gamo zone public health facilities southern Ethiopia. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 10 to May 10, 2022, among systematically selected adult HIV patients. The data were collected by using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire, patient record review, and physical measurements. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. A p-value <0.05 with its 95% CI was considered as a statistically significant and interpreted accordingly. Results: The magnitude of overweight/obesity were 13.5% (95% CI:(10.4-17.2)). Being male (2.484(1.308, 4.716)), duration on ART (took for ≥5 years) ((2.249(1.218, 4.152)), and ART drug regime (3.789(1.965, 7.304)) were significantly associated with overweight/obesity. Conclusion: Overweight/obesity is significantly associated to ART drug regimen type among adult HIV patients. Furthermore, sex and duration on ART drug were found significantly associated with overweight/obesity of adult HIV patients.
