Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Galicia (NW Spain) on four alternative definitions and association with insulin resistance.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
The present study evaluated the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in a representative sample (no.=2860) of adults from the Spanish region of Galicia using the definitions of a) the World Health Organization; b) the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults; c) the European Group for Study of Insulin Resistance; and d) the International Diabetes Federation. In addition, we assess concordance among the different definitions, and the relationships of MS with insulin resistance (IR) as assessed by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) index. Our results indicate a high prevalence of MS under all 4 definitions. MS prevalence was higher in men than women on all 4 definitions, and increased significantly with body mass index and age. IR was high among subjects with MS, and the HOMA index was a good discriminator of MS and non-MS on all 4 definitions, suggesting that HOMA index may be a useful predictive tool in clinical practice.
