Prevalence of Hypertension and Associated Factors Among People Living with HIV in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care. 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
IntroductionHypertension has emerged as a significant comorbidity among people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). However, the prevalence and determinants of hypertension in Ethiopia remain inconsistent across studies.MethodsA systematic search of PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Hinari, and Google Scholar was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Both published and grey literature conducted in Ethiopia were included. The Newcastle Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of included studies.ResultsPooled prevalence of hypertension among people living with HIV in Ethiopia was 22% (95% CI: 17.0-28.0). Factors significantly associated with hypertension among people living with HIV included physical inactivity (AOR=2.73; 95% CI: 2.05-3.41), excessive alcohol drinking (AOR=3.01; 95% CI: 1.41-4.61), and ART duration ≥5 years (AOR=2.50; 95% CI: 1.46-3.54).ConclusionHypertension affects approximately one in five people living with HIV in Ethiopia. Physical inactivity, alcohol use and long-term ART were significantly associated with Hypertension.
