1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

abstract

objectivesTo identify how severe is inflammation in metabolic syndrome using as inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein and leukocytes. To asses these markers considering the diversity of metabolic syndrome elements. MATERIAL AND

methodWe performed a study that enrolled 258 patients registered to a family physician and diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. The subjects included in the study were divided in two groups: group A-137 subjects diagnosed with metabolic syndrome that was defined by 3 elements: abdominal obesity+arterial hypertension+diabetes mellitus; group B-121 patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome based on 5 elements: abdominal obesity+arterial hypertension+diabetes mellitus+decreased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)+increased triglycerides.

resultsWe observed increased values of CRP and leukocytes for group B in comparison to group A: 0.9±0.8 mg/dl vs 0.79±0.8 mg/dl (p=0.02, significantly statistic). Leukocytes value was higher for group B, but not significantly statistic.

conclusionsInflammation in patients with metabolic syndrome depends on the number and association of elements that define this entity and it is more accentuated for subjects who associate more elements.
