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.

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
backgroundNoncommunicable diseases include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and chronic lung diseases and are collectively responsible for almost 70% of all deaths worldwide. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) predisposes to coronary artery disease irrespective of age, gender, or family history of diabetes. AIM AND
objectivesThe aims of this study were as follows: (1) to assess the prevalence and its predictors of obesity among the urban population, (2) to analyze the association of obesity with MetS, and (3) to analyze the correlation of obesity with different components of MetS. MATERIALS AND
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban area of Rishikesh. The World Health Organization STEPS instrument and protocol were used for the assessment of risk factors and measurements. The sample size was calculated to be 478. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Appropriate statistical tests for bivariate and multivariate analysis were done.
resultsThe prevalence of MetS among obese individuals was significantly higher (57%) according to the National Cholesterol Educational Program Adult Treatment Panel 3 definition (
conclusionsAs the prevalence of MetS is higher among obese individuals, health interventions required to reduce the morbidity/mortality and need to be addressed in adult populations.
