Metabolic Syndrome and Incident Asthma in Chinese Adults: An Open Cohort Study.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundAlthough metabolic syndrome is awell-known risk factor for many non-communicable diseases, its contribution to asthma remains controversial.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the associations of metabolic syndrome and its components with incident asthma in Chinese adults.
methodsWe conducted an open cohort study of participants who were asthma-free at baseline (n=42,304) in the Shandong multi-center health check-up longitudinal study from 2004 to 2015. Participants aged ≥20 years and had regular physical examination (once ayear) more than three times during follow-up.
resultsNinety subjects (38 women and 52 men) developed incident asthma over 12 years of follow-up. Our study suggested that metabolic syndrome itself was not significantly associated with incident asthma in either women or men (
conclusionMetabolic syndrome was not significantly associated with incident asthma in both women and men; however, overweight and/or obesity was shown to be asignificant risk factor for incident asthma but only in women, not in men.
