Association between Insomnia and Metabolic Syndrome in a Chinese Han Population: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The association between insomnia and metabolic syndrome remains unclear, especially among different-aged groups. A cross-sectional study with 8017 participants was performed to identify whether insomnia was associated with metabolic syndrome or not. Demographic characteristics, lifestyles and other risk factors were collected using a predesigned, semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire, and physical examinations were conducted by certificated community physicians. Insomnia was not independently associated with metabolic syndrome across all subjects; however, the association between insomnia and metabolic syndrome was statistically significant in the male group (odds ratio (OR): 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.77) and the middle-aged group (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.09-1.79) but not in the female group, the young adult group or the older group. Analyses of the individual components of metabolic syndrome revealed that insomnia was independently associated with raised blood pressure (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.05-1.43) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01-1.33). Insomnia was also independently associated with the severity of metabolic abnormalities (OR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.03-1.32). This study demonstrates an independent association between insomnia and metabolic syndrome in males and middle-aged participants, which suggests that treatment for insomnia will contribute to the prevention of metabolic syndrome in males and the middle-aged population.
