Recurrence and predictors of diabetic ketoacidosis among individuals with diabetes mellitus in public hospitals of Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia.

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
people with diabetes mellitus frequently develop diabetic ketoacidosis, which greatly increases mortality. However, there is scarcity of up-to-date data on the recurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis and predictors among individuals with diabetes mellitus in Ethiopia. An institution-based retrospective follow up study design was conducted. STATA software was used for the final analysis of the data. Negative binomial regression model was used at a 95% confidence level. Statistical significance of the predictor on outcome variables was declared at P-value < 0.05. In this study, 378 charts were reviewed. The mean recurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis was 0.63 (0-4) and among 378 DM patients, 135 (35.71%) had at least one DKA episode per one year. Being female (AIRR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.18-2.07), type 1 diabetes mellitus (AIRR = 2.70, 95% CI 1.75-4.35), longer duration of diabetes mellitus (AIRR = 2.36, 95% CI 1.27-2.91), acute infection (AIRR = 4.33, 95% CI 2.75-6.83), comorbidity (AIRR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.18-2.09), and mixed type of treatment (AIRR = 2.04, 95% CI 1.30-3.2) were risk factors whereas injection type of treatment (AIRR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.44-0.96) and medication compliance (AIRR = 0.23, 95% CI 0.17-0.31) were reduce the risk of recurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis. Clinicians should prioritize management of patients with risk factors of diabetic ketoacidosis recurrence.
