Burden of primary open-angle glaucoma and its associated factors among adult diabetic patients in Northwest Ethiopia, 2023: a multicentre hospital-based cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) among adult diabetic patients in Northwest Ethiopia, 2023.
designAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted using a systematic random sampling method.
settingThe study was conducted in the University of Gondar, Debre Tabor, Felege Hiwot, Tibebe Ghion and Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia.
participantsThe study included 1174 adult diabetic patients aged 18 years or older who had resided in Northwest Ethiopia for more than 6 months.
main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was the prevalence of POAG among adult diabetic patients in Northwest Ethiopia, 2023. The second outcome was the associated factors of POAG among adult diabetic patients.
resultA total of 1134 study participants participated, with a response rate of 96.5%. The median age of the participants was 53 years, with an IQR of 37-62 years. The prevalence of POAG was 14.37% (95% CI 12.30 to 16.30). Older age (adjusted OR (AOR)=2.97, 95% CI 1.25 to 7.04), long duration of diabetic mellitus (AOR=3.54, 95% CI 2.27 to 5.51), poor blood glucose level (AOR=2.61, 95% CI 1.50 to 4.54), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) (AOR=4.91, 95% CI 2.10 to 11.46) and intraocular pressure (IOP) (AOR=9.15, 95% CI 6.01 to 13.93) were significantly associated factors with POAG.
conclusionThis study revealed that the proportion of POAG among adult diabetic patients was high. Older age, long duration of diabetes mellitus, poor blood glucose level, PDR and IOP were positively associated with POAG.
