1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

IntroductionHIV/AIDS remains a major global public health challenge and continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, HIV infection remains a major public health concern, yet evidence on its prevalence and associated factors is limited in some areas. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of HIV infection, associated risk factors, and the knowledge, attitude, and practice related to HIV/AIDS among patients visiting Metema Yohanness Primary Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia.MethodsA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess HIV prevalence and associated factors. Given the binary nature of the outcome variable (HIV status: positive/negative), associations with independent variables were analyzed using logistic regression. Bivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between HIV seropositivity and each independent variable, including socio-demographic, behavioral, biological, and practice related factors. Due to the small number of HIV-positive cases, multivariable logistic regression was not conducted to avoid model overfitting and unstable estimates. Crude odds ratios (CORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated to estimate the strength of associations, and a two-tailed P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant
