Self-rated Health Status of the Adult Population in Addis Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Addis-HDSS), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Self-rated health (SRH) status is a subjective assessment of one's health condition and can serve as a reliable indicator of a community's overall health. This study aimed to evaluate the SRH status of communities and its association with socio-demographic and health-related variables at the population level. Methods: Data were obtained from the Addis Health and Demographic Surveillance System. SRH was assessed through a single question: "In general, would you say that your health is excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor?" These five categories were transformed into two groups: "Good SRH" and "Poor SRH." Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses examined associations between SRH status and socio-demographic and health-related characteristics. Results: A total of 46,483 adults (aged 18 and above) were included in the study. Of these, 4,377 (9.42%) participants reported poor SRH status. Male sex (OR 0.87; 95% CI: 0.80 - 0.94), higher educational level (OR 1.90; 95% CI: 1.67 - 2.17), and the highest wealth index (OR 1.76; 95% CI: 1.55 - 2.00) were significantly associated with good SRH status, while older age (OR 0.15; 95% CI: 0.12 - 0.18) and the presence of any chronic illness (OR 0.08; 95% CI: 0.07 - 0.09) were directly and significantly associated with poor SRH status. Conclusion: Poor SRH status was more prevalent among females, older individuals, those with lower education, lower wealth index, and those with chronic illnesses. These findings highlight the need for robust health facilities and support systems for women and the elderly population.
