Health-related quality of life among patients with cirrhosis at a tertiary care center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in gastroenterology (Lausanne, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) reflects an individual's perception of how disease and treatment affect their physical, functional, emotional, and social well-being. The burden of cirrhosis is high in Ethiopia but reports on HRQoL among cirrhosis patients are lacking. This study aimed to assess HRQoL and associated factors among patients with cirrhosis at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 221 patients with cirrhosis at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. Data were coded and entered into Epi Data 4.6.0.2 and analyzed by STATA software version 17m/p. Bivariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed. A p-value lower than 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Results: The mean ± SD age was 42.74 ± 12.25. In multivariable linear regression analysis, Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) (Standardized β.coff (Std.β.coff) = 0.12, 95% CI (0.06, 0.18), age ≥50 (Std.β.coff = -0.38, 95% CI (-0.68,-0.09), Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) class B (Std.β.coff = -0.92, 95% CI (-1.28, -0.55), CTP class C (Std.β.coff = -1.69, 95% CI (-2.30,-1.07) were significantly associated with mean quality of life score. Conclusion: Quality of life score was significantly associated with age, CTP class, and MUAC. Health-related quality of life should be taken into consideration in the assessment and treatment of patients with cirrhosis. Older patients, patients with decompensated cirrhosis, and patients with lower MUAC measurements should be given special attention.
