Prevalence and Influencing Factors of Metabolic Syndrome among Adults in China from 2015 to 2017.

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
The prevalence and influencing factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Chinese residents aged 20 or older were investigated. The data were collected from China Nutrition and Health Surveillance (2015-2017), which used a stratified, multistage, random sampling method. A total of 130,018 residents aged 20 years or older from 31 provinces were included in this study. The National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria were used to define MetS. The standardised prevalence of high waist circumference, high blood pressure and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were 40.8%, 49.4% and 41.1%, respectively. The following factors were associated with a higher prevalence of MetS: female [odds ratio (OR) = 1.773, 95% CI = 1.709-1.840]; older age (OR = 1.037, 95% CI = 1.036-1.039); living in north China (OR = 1.087, 95% CI = 1.058-1.117); high body mass index (OR = 1.402, 95% CI = 1.395-1.408); higher income [OR (95% CI): 1.044 (1.007-1.083), 1.083 (1.044-1.124) and 1.123 (1.078-1.170) for moderate, high, and very high income, respectively]; family history of hypertension (OR = 1.237, 95% CI = 1.203-1.273); family history of diabetes (OR = 1.491, 95% CI = 1.426-1.558) and current smoking status (OR = 1.143, 95% CI = 1.098-1.191). Living in the countryside (OR = 0.960, 95% CI = 0.932-0.988), moderate alcohol consumption (OR = 0.917, 95% CI = 0.889-0.946) and being physically active (OR = 0.887, 95% CI = 0.862-0.913) were associated with a lower prevalence of MetS. The prevalence of MetS among residents aged 20 years or older in China is increasing, especially among women, people aged 45 years or older and urban residents. Preventive efforts, such as quitting smoking and engaging in physical activity, are recommended to reduce the risk of MetS.
