Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus among Adults in Rural Anambra State, Nigeria: Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Background: The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has increased rapidly in Nigeria, but studies show that DM prevalence varies in different parts of Nigeria. Despite the documented burden of chronic DM complications in Anambra State, the community-based prevalence of DM among adults in Anambra State is unknown. To determine the prevalence of DM in a rural community in Anambra State, Nigeria. Methodology: Multistage cluster sampling technique was used to select adult residents of Ukpor aged ≥ 18 years. Data was collected using the STEPwise approach to chronic disease surveillance questionnaire. Diabetes Mellitus was defined as either random blood glucose ≥ 11 mmol/L, or previous diagnosis of DM. Data obtained was analysed using the T-test and Chi-square test. P-value < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of DM was 12.3%. The prevalence of DM increased with age, and the association between increasing age and DM was significant (p < 0.05). Although the prevalence of DM was higher in women (14.1%) than in men (9.2%), there was no significant association between sex and DM (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of DM among adults in this community is high and corresponds with the high burden of chronic DM complications previously documented in Anambra State.
