Metabolic syndrome is not a predictor for cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with diabetes mellitus asymptomatic for coronary artery disease: a retrospective analysis of the J-ACCESS-2 study.

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
purposePatients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) have potentially higher risk for cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of MetS on cardiac events in type-2 diabetic patients asymptomatic for coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Japanese population.
methodsA total of 485 patients from a J-ACCESS-2 investigation with stress-gated myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and quantitative-gated MPI analysis were examined. Cardiovascular hard events (cardiac death and acute coronary syndrome) and total events during a 3-year follow-up were analyzed.
resultsThe MetS group (n = 229) had higher incidence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and ventricular dilatation than the non-MetS group (n = 256). The hard events were 8 and 12 for the MetS and non-MetS groups (P = n.s.), and total events were 31 and 31 for each of these groups, respectively (P = n.s.). Significant variables related to total cardiovascular events included age, current smoking, insulin use, total cholesterol, ejection fraction, summed stress score ≥ 9, and summed difference score ≥ 2. Cox proportional hazard analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that only the summed stress score was related to total events (P = .01), and the presence and the number of items for MetS criteria were not.
conclusionIn patients with type 2 diabetes asymptomatic for CAD, cardiovascular events and ischemia are as common in diabetic patients without MetS as in those with MetS. A high MPI defect score is related to total events including cardiac and cerebrovascular events.
