Article in Revista brasileira de medicina do trabalho : publicacao oficial da Associacao Nacional de Medicina do Trabalho-ANAMT, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 independently associated with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
objectiveTo establish the frequency of MetS components and cardiovascular risk profile of female employees of a private educational institution in the Federal District, Brazil.
methodsCross-sectional study performed with 120 female workers aged 20 to 59 years old allocated to the administration and outsourced departments. We administered a questionnaire to investigate demographic, socioeconomic and lifestyle characteristics, and performed anthropometric, blood pressure and biochemical measurements.
resultsThe sample comprised 120 participants, the largest proportion were aged 31 to 40 years old (47.5%) and 74 (61.7%) participants reported to be brown skinned. About 73.3% of the participants were rated insufficiently active, 81.7% reported not to smoke and 65% to consume alcohol 3 times/week. About 40% of the sample exhibited increased waist circumference and 43.3% excess weight. About 26.7% of the participants exhibited high blood sugar, 56.7% high triglyceride and 61.7% low HDL levels. About 10.1% of the sample exhibited borderline blood pressure levels. We found association between number of MetS components and age range and physical activity (p<0.05).
conclusionThe participants exhibited a large number of MetS components and cardiovascular risk factors, high prevalence of excess weight, sedentary lifestyle and lipid profile abnormalities. Implementing public policies for health promotion, protection and support for workers likely to improve their working and living conditions in the medium and long term is indispensable.
