Metabolic Syndrome and Economic Strain Among Sexual Minority Young Adults.
Article in LGBT health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThe study tested if sexual orientation is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in young adulthood (ages 24-32), and if economic strain impacts associations.
methodsGender-stratified logistic regressions were fit among 11,575 young adults (1644 sexual minority [SM]) in Wave IV of The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health.
resultsMetS was not associated with sexual orientation for either gender, yet economic strain was more prevalent among both SM males and females. Additional MetS risk factors (smoking, binge drinking, and lower education) emerged for SM females.
conclusionAlthough MetS did not differ by sexual orientation, emergent sexual orientation disparities among females suggest increased future risk.
