Sex-Related Differences in the Association between Metabolic Syndrome and Gallstone Disease.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and gallstone disease (GD) share common risk factors. Several epidemiological studies reported that subjects with Mets are more likely to have GD than those without and that cholecystectomy (CHO) may increase the risk of MetS. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between MetS and GD in a large cohort of patients with metabolic risk factors in Italy. The study was performed in 620 consecutive outpatients referring to the University outpatients' clinic for the management of cardiovascular risk factors. MetS were diagnosed according to the ATPIII Expert Panel modified criteria. GD was defined as gallstones documented by abdominal ultrasound (US) or previous cholecystectomy. The prevalence of GD was significantly higher in women than in men (22.3% vs. 13.1%,
