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

backgroundAchieving target blood glucose in type 2 diabetes patients with hypertension remains a challenge despite the availability of different classes of drugs to treat these conditions.

objectiveto assess the level of glycemic control and identify associated factors among ambulatory type 2 diabetes patients with hypertension co-morbidity.

methodsWe conducted a hospital based cross-sectional study from April 4 to May 11, 2016 among ambulatory type 2 diabetes patients with hypertension comorbidity at Jimma University Medical Center. We collected data on patient demographics, diabetes complications, and treatments using pretested questionnaire and data extraction format from a total of 300 eligible patients. We included consecutive patients that visited the hospital during the study period. We performed statistical analysis using SPSS version 21. Logistic regression analyses were done to identify the factors associated with poor glycemic control. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsThe majority of patients (60%) had poor glycemic control. The mean (SD) fasting blood glucose level over three consecutive months was 152.5 (65.7) mg/dl. Factors associated with poor glycemic control were age 41-60 years (AOR = 3.05, 95%CI: 1.20-7.77), age older than 60 years (AOR = 2.62, 95%CI: 1.01-6.80), presence of drug related problems (AOR = 2.29, 95%CI: 1.20-4.39), and low adherence to medications (AOR = 4.26, 95%CI: 1.70-10.65).

conclusionThe prevalence of poor glycemic control among ambulatory type 2 diabetes patients with hypertension comorbidity was high.
