Differential Effect of the Metabolic Syndrome on the Incidence of Retinal Vein Occlusion in the Korean Population: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Translational vision science & technology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Purpose: To investigate the impact of the metabolic syndrome (METS) on the incidence of retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using Korean National Health Insurance System data. 23,153,600 subjects without previous history of RVO underwent a National Health Screening Program examination between 2009 and 2012. They were monitored for RVO development (registration of diagnostic code for RVO) until 2015. Presence of METS was defined using the data from the National Health Screening Program examination according to the revised criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. A multivariate adjusted Cox regression analysis was used to reveal hazard ratios and 95% confidence interval for RVO development in the presence of METS. Results: The age of the subjects was 47.64 ± 13.51 years. In this cohort, 11,747,439 (50.7%) were male, 11,406,161 (49.3%) were female, and 6,398,071 subjects (27.6%) were diagnosed with METS. The overall incidence of RVO was 0.947 per 1000 person-years. The adjusted hazard ratio of RVO in the presence of METS was 1.458 (95% confidence interval, 1.440-1.475; Conclusions: METS and each of diagnostic criteria was associated with an increased risk of RVO development. Elevated blood pressure seems to be especially important factors for RVO development. Translational Relevance: Our results provide information about the link between METS and RVO.
