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

Background: NCDs risk behaviours are modifiable and particularly patterned during adolescence. This study assessed the prevalence and sociodemographic predictors of multiple NCDs risk behaviours among in-school adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed to assess the simultaneous occurrence of NCD risk behaviours among a random multistage sample of 607 participants. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was carried using the IBM SPSS version 22 software. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 14.7 (SD = 1.52) years. The prevalence of two and at least three co-occurring NCDs risk behaviours among the study participants 46.1 % (n=280) and 16.6 % (n = 101). Increasing age (AOR=1.84; 95% CI: 1.11 - 3.05), male sex (AOR=1.75; 95% CI: 1.28 - 2.82) and being an urban resident (AOR=1.41; 95% CI: 1.06 - 2.86) were predictors of at least three co-occurring NCDs risk behaviours. Conclusion: The prevalence of multiple NCDs risk behaviours was relatively high among the study participants. This calls for urgent implementation of interventions at all ecological levels that will equip in-school adolescents with the skills to adopt healthy lifestyles and choices.
