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

backgroundConstipation, which affects 16% of adults worldwide, is a chronic health problem characterized by unsatisfactory frequency of bowel movements, causing pain, bloating or incomplete bowel movements. The study aims to assess the magnitude of chronic constipation and associated factors among T

methodsHospital-based cross-sectional study design was carried out to assess the magnitude and associated factors of chronic constipation among T

results300 T2DM patients participated in this survey. Of these 137 (45.7%) were male and 163 (54.3%) were female and the mean age was 58.57 ± 11.09 SD years, the range from 35 to 85 years. The prevalence of constipation was 73 (24.3%) (95% CI: 0.196-0.296). Education status above high school (AOR: 0.151.95% CI: 0.032-0.718), less than 7 h of sleep per day (AOR: 12.39.95% CI: 2.712-56.69), frequent depression (AOR: 6, 84, 95% CI: 2.639-17.743), parents with constipation (AOR: 6.843.95% CI: 2.639-17.743), daily water intake < 1300 ml (AOR: 4.760.95% CI: 1.146-19.773), TAG levels below 150 mg/dl (AOR: 0.050, 95% CI: 0.015-0.166), HbAlc between 6 and 7% (AOR: 0.013.95% CI: 0.001-0.132) ,HbAlc between 7.1 and 8% (AOR: 0.006, 95% CI: 0.001-0.067), and LDL levels were significantly associated with chronic constipation in T2DM patients.

conclusionsThe prevalence of chronic constipation was considerable in T2DM patients. Education level above high school, less than 7 h of sleep per day, frequent depression, parents with constipation, daily water intake < 1300 ml, TAG and HbAlc play a significant role in the development of chronic constipation in T2DM patients. T2DM patients can reduce the extent of constipation by treating the above problem in a timely and timely manner.
