Impaired estimated glomerular filtration rate and associated factors among adult patients living with HIV at Asella Referral and Teaching Hospital, Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a major global health challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a multisystem disorder with significant renal involvement. In Ethiopia, limited data exist on the prevalence of impaired estimated glomerular filtration rate among patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Identifying associated factors is critical for implementing targeted interventions to preserve renal function.
methodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 252 adult patients living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus from October 1 to December 30, 2024 at Asella Referral and Teaching Hospital. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and medical record reviews. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with impaired glomerular filtration rate (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73m2).
resultThe prevalence of impaired glomerular filtration rate was 18.7% (95% CI: 14.0-23.0). Factors significantly associated with impaired glomerular filtration rate included age > 40 years (AOR = 3.26; 95%CI: 1.17-9.12), history of smoking (AOR = 4.68; 95% CI: 1.87-11.70), opportunistic infections (AOR = 5.93; 95% CI: 2.23-15.74), diabetes mellitus (AOR = 3.86; 95% CI: 1.47-10.12) and hypertension (AOR = 2.71; CI: 1.07-6.82).
conclusionThe study found that around 19% of the studied population had impaired glomerular filtration rate. Targeted screening for kidney disease should focus on individuals older than 40years, smokers and those with opportunistic infections, diabetes mellitus or hypertension.
