Time to death and its predictors among adults living with HIV receiving ART in Ethiopia applying proportional hazard model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Globally, more than 32.7 million AIDS-related deaths have occurred, and about 38 million people were living with HIV by the end of 2019, yet only half had access to ART. Despite Ethiopia's long-standing ART program, evidence on mortality and its predictors remains limited in the study area, creating an information gap for policymakers. This study aimed to assess time to death and its predictors among adults living with HIV on ART at public health facilities, Northeast Ethiopia. A retrospective follow-up study was used among 602 study participants selected by simple random sampling method from clients enrolled for ART from July 8, 2010 to July 7, 2020 in public health facilities of Kemise town. Descriptive statistics was used to describe cohort characteristics and Kaplan-Meier analysis to estimate survival probability. Bi-variable and multivariable Cox-regression analysis was used to identify predictors of mortality. Hazard ratios along with 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated to measure the strength of the association. Level of statistical significance was declared at p-value ≤ 0.05. Among 602 ART naïve study cohort, 108 patients were died with cumulative incidence density of 4.14 (95% CI (3.43, 5.00) per 100 Person Year Observed (PYO). The predictors of mortality were rural residents [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 1.51, 95% CI (1.01, 2.28)], not taking co-trimoxazole prophylactic therapy(CPT) [AHR = 4.52, 95% CI (2.83, 7.21)], having co-morbidities [AHR = 1.64, 95% CI (1.06-2.55)], Patients with opportunistic infections (OIs) [AHR = 4.45, 95% CI (2.07, 9.59)], bedridden functional status [AHR = 3.21, 95% CI (1.52, 6.77)], unsuppressed viral load [AHR = 2.45, 95% CI (1.17, 5.10)], TB co-infection[AHR = 3.91, 95% CI (1.89, 8.08)], baseline CD
