Metabolic syndrome: comparison of occurrence using three definitions in hypertensive patients.

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
objectiveTo compare the frequency of occurrence of metabolic syndrome using three international definitions and to study the distribution of cardiovascular risk factors among newly diagnosed hypertensive Nigerian subjects.
designCross sectional study. SETTINGS: Cardiology unit of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Nigeria.
participantsOne hundred forty newly diagnosed hypertensive Nigerian subjects, and 70 normotensive controls (age- and sex-matched) were included in this study.
methodsClinical history and relevant laboratory investigations were performed on all study participants. The definition of metabolic syndrome was based on three international definitions: World Health Organization (WHO), International Diabetes Federation (IDF), and National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III). Ethical approval was obtained for the study. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 16.0.
resultsThere was no difference in age and gender distribution between the hypertensive subjects and controls. (55.14 ± 10.83 years, females 53.6% vs. 54.67 ± 10.89 years, females 52.9% respectively, P>0.05). The frequency of occurrence of metabolic syndrome among hypertensives was 34.5% according to WHO, 35.0% according to NCEP ATP III, and 42.5% according to IDF criteria. Visceral obesity and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were the other common cardiovascular risk factors among newly diagnosed hypertensive subjects. Female hypertensives had a higher prevalence of visceral obesity and low HDL.
conclusionFrequency of occurrence of metabolic syndrome was similar using the NCEP ATP III and WHO definitions. However, the IDF definition resulted in a higher frequency because of the lower cut-off for waist circumference used for identification of visceral obesity. Metabolic syndrome is present in a significant proportion of newly diagnosed hypertensive subjects. Therefore, appropriate screening and treatment are required.
