Association between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 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
backgroundBoth short and long sleep duration have been consistently studied as a risk factor for obesity, hyperglycemia and hypertension. In this cross-sectional study, we provide an updated analysis of the Health Examinees (HEXA) study on the association between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome (MetS) occurrence among Koreans age 40-69 year olds.
methodsA total of 133,608 subjects (44,930 men, 88,678 women) were enrolled in the HEXA study 2004-2013. Sleep duration was categorized into 4 sleep categories (< 6 h, 6 to < 8 h, 8 to < 10 h, ≥10 h). MetS criterion was based on the National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III. Logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsCompared with individuals sleeping 6 to < 8 h per day, less than 6 h of sleep was associated with MetS (multivariable adjusted OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.05-1.19) and elevated waist circumference (1.15, 1.08-1.23) among men; with elevated waist circumference (1.09, 1.04-1.14) among women. Greater than 10 h of sleep was associated with MetS (1.28, 1.08-1.50) and elevated triglycerides (1.33, 1.14-1.56) among men; with MetS (1.40, 1.24-1.58), elevated waist circumference (1.14, 1.02-1.27), elevated triglycerides (1.41, 1.25-1.58), reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (1.24, 1.12-1.38), and elevated fasting glucose (1.39, 1.23-1.57) among women.
conclusionsLess than 6 h of sleep is associated with elevated waist circumference among both men and women and with MetS among men only. Greater than 10 h of sleep is associated with MetS and elevated triglycerides among both men and women and with elevated waist circumference, reduced HDL-C, and elevated fasting glucose among women only.
