Incidence and Predictors of Opportunistic Infection Among People Living With HIV in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in AIDS research and treatment, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Opportunistic infections (OIs) play a crucial role in the morbidity and mortality of HIV-infected individuals. Despite the increasing use of antiretroviral therapy, there remains a lack of comprehensive data on the incidence of OIs to provide a clearer national picture. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine the pooled incidence and identify the predictors of OIs among people living with HIV in Ethiopia. Method: A systematic search was conducted across multiple electronic databases to identify relevant studies. The degree of heterogeneity across studies was assessed using the Result: In total, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The pooled incidence rate of OIs among people living with HIV in Ethiopia was found to be 6.96 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 5.14-8.78) based on a random-effects model. The meta-analysis identified predictors of OIs among people living with HIV, including poor adherence (pooled AHR 1.42, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.80), CD4 count < 200 cells/mm Conclusion: The burden of OIs continues to be a major health concern among people living with HIV/AIDS. Low CD4 count, poor adherence to ART, being bedridden, and advanced clinical stage were significantly associated with the occurrence of OIs.
