1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeLifestyle changes in diabetes mellitus leads to metabolic syndrome, thus resulting in a hike in micro and macrovascular complications in diabetes mellitus patients. The main objective of the study was to identify the occurrence of metabolic syndrome and to evaluate the gender-associated difference in each component of metabolic syndrome by using International Diabetic Federation (IDF) and National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III)criteria.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted in 350 type II diabetes mellitus patients. All the study participants within 30-80 years were enrolled. Subjects with type I DM and pregnant women were excluded from the study.

resultsThe occurrence of metabolic syndrome among the diabetic population was found to be 42.28% and 28.85% using the IDF and the NCEP ATP III criteria respectively. It was observed that the prevalence was found to be higher in females than males as per IDF and NCEP ATP III criteria and was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001). Central obesity elevated blood pressure, and reduced high-density lipoprotein was significantly higher in female patients. The most frequently occurring risk factor in this study population was central obesity followed by hypertension. A comparative analysis of IDF and NCEP ATP III criteria implies that when compared to diabetes patients without metabolic syndrome, all the metabolic risk elements were significantly higher in diabetes patients with metabolic syndrome.

conclusionsThis study concluded that the occurrence of metabolic syndrome was dreadfully high among the diabetic population, especially among female subjects.
