Metabolic syndrome and hemoglobin levels in elderly adults: the Invecchiare in Chianti Study.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesTo assess the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and hemoglobin levels in older adults.
designThe Invecchiare in Chianti (InCHIANTI) Study, a cohort study with a 6-year follow-up.
settingTuscany, Italy.
participantsAdults aged 65 and older (N = 1,036). MEASUREMENTS: MetS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. The adjusted association between baseline hemoglobin and MetS was assessed using multivariable linear regression with hemoglobin as a continuous variable and using logistic regression with median hemoglobin level as the reference. Logistic regression was also performed with any incident decline in hemoglobin levels as the dependent variable.
resultsMetS was diagnosed in 263 (25%) participants. At baseline, MetS was associated with higher hemoglobin levels (B = 0.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.03-0.33, P = .02) and with hemoglobin levels above the median value (odds ratio (OR) = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.17-2.32, P = .004) after adjusting. After 6 years, MetS was associated with lower adjusted probability of lower hemoglobin levels (OR = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.15-0.79, P = .012) but only in the oldest tertile of participants.
conclusionMetS is associated with higher hemoglobin levels in older subjects and with lower probability of hemoglobin loss over 6 years in those in the oldest age group.
