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
Diabetes mellitus shares a large proportion of kidney failure. Despite many patients suffering from diabetes mellitus and its complications in Dessie City, no study was conducted in the study area that shows the prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease among diabetes mellitus patients. Therefore, this study aims to assess the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its associated factors among adult diabetes mellitus patients attending Dessie Referral Hospital, South Wollo, Northeast Ethiopia. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Dessie Referral Hospital among 267 randomly selected adult diabetic patients. Data were collected using questionnaires administered by interviewers. The glomerular filtration rate was estimated from serum creatinine levels. Data were entered into Epi-data version 4.6 and analyzed using SPSS version 26 software. Multi-variable logistic regression was used to determine the strength of association for the associated factors of chronic kidney disease. Variables with a p value < 0.05 were used to ascertain statistically significant associations. A total of 267 diabetic patients participated in this study. About 104 (39%) of the respondents were female and from the total, 133 (48.1%) were hypertensive. The overall prevalence of chronic kidney disease in this study was 31.5% (95% CI 25.3-37.1%). Being older (p-value = 0.003) and having hypertension (p-value = 0.043) were significant factors for chronic kidney disease among diabetes mellitus patients. This study found a high prevalence (31.5%) of chronic kidney disease among diabetic patients. Older age, having hypertension, and elevated serum creatinine were statistically significant associated factors of chronic kidney disease among patients with diabetes mellitus. Thus, clinicians should be aware of the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Dessie City. Moreover, emphasis should be given for old age and hypertension as contributing factors to the high prevalence in diabetic patients.
