Cardiovascular disease prevention practice among adults in Southwest, Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 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
Introduction: recent population-based studies indicated an increasing burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is limited evidence regarding cardiovascular disease prevention practices among the communities. This study aimed to assess cardiovascular disease prevention practices and associated factors among adults in Jimma Town, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods: a community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 634 adults in Jimma Town from August 30 Results: the overall good practice was found to be 46.8%. Knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors (AOR = 2.013; 95% CI (1.4, 2.9); p < 0.001), self-efficacy (AOR = 1.670; 95% CI (1.1, 2.4); p = 0.007), social support (AOR = 2.063; 95% CI (1.4, 2.9); p < 001), intermediate (AOR = 2.035; 95% CI (1.3, 3.2); p = 0.003) and high (AOR = 2.101; 95% CI (1.3, 3.4); p = 0. 001) self-perceived estimate of cardiovascular disease risk, and working hours (AOR = 0.445; 95% CI (0.3, 0.7); p < 0.001) were significantly associated with cardiovascular diseases prevention practices. Conclusion: the study found cardiovascular disease prevention practice was suboptimal in the study area. Thus, promoting positive health behaviors regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors in the community is a must.
