Metabolic syndrome is associated with increased prevalence of advanced colorectal polyps.

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 examine the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and/or its components and colorectal neoplasms in adult population undergoing screening colonoscopy.
designCross-sectional study.
settingInstitute of Gastroenterology, Kaplan Medical Center, Rehovot, Israel.
participantsTwo hundred ninety nine consecutive outpatients undergoing screening colonoscopy. MEASUREMENTS: MetS was determined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III of the National Cholesterol Education Program (ATP III) criteria. Blood test results and other clinical data were retrieved from the electronic medical records.
resultsIn 94 patients (31.8%) polyps were detected. Thirty two (34%) of the polyps were advanced. Eighty one percent of patients with an advanced polyp met the criteria for MetS. About the same MetS prevalence (84%) was found in men, but not in women. An advanced polyp was detected in 14% of patients with MetS, compared to 5% of patients without MetS. Odds ratio for having an advanced polyp in a patient with MetS compared to a patient without MetS was 10.64.
conclusionMetS was found to be a risk factor for advanced polyps. This association is suggestive of the need that patients with MetS should be urged to have a screening colonoscopy.
