Components and Risk Factors of Metabolic Syndrome among Rural Nigerian Workers.

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
backgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a serious public health risk predisposing the workforce to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
aimThe aim of this study was to determine the components and risk factors of MetS among Nigerian teachers and bank workers (BWs). SETTINGS AND
designThe cross-sectional study was conducted in Idemili South Local Government Area, Southeast Nigeria. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study involved 427 teachers and 66 BWs in 14 secondary schools and 5 microfinance banks, respectively. Data collection methods included questionnaire, lipid profile, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), weight, height, waist circumference, and blood pressure (BP) measurements. Inferential statistical analysis involved Pearson correlation and Chi square with Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. Significance was accepted at
resultsMost (73.3%) of the teachers were 40-60-year-olds; 75.8% of BWs were 19-39-year-olds (
conclusionMetS was a problem of public health significance among the workers with higher prevalence among teachers, 40-60-year-olds, and females. Abdominal obesity was the strongest risk factor of metabolic syndrome among the workers.
