Metabolic syndrome in hypertensive and non-hypertensive subjects.
Article in Health science reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsHypertension is a major risk factor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which attributes to one-third of all deaths worldwide. It is also considered as a key feature of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of the present study was to compare the presence of characteristic features of MetS in hypertensive and non-hypertensive males and females and find out the percentages of MetS in hypertensive and non-hypertensive adults.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study, involving 120 participants that included 60 hypertensives and 60 non-hypertensives (35-55 years). Data were obtained through an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) and lipid parameters [triglyceride-(TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL)] were analyzed, and waist circumference (WC) was measured. Percentages of MetS among hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups were determined according to both modified Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and new International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Results were analyzed using SPSS version 21.
resultsAmong the characteristic features of MetS, mean FBS and WC were significantly higher in hypertensive males compared with non-hypertensive males (
conclusionThe percentage of subjects with increased FBS, WC, and MetS was significantly higher in the hypertensive group compared with non-hypertensives group. These findings emphasize the urgent need to develop national strategies for early detection, and to take preventive measures to make people aware of the impact of metabolic syndrome.
