1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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) is considered to be a clustering of cardiometabolic diseases and is emerging as a public health concern. There is little evidence of this disease in market traders, and so the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and knowledge of MetS. In this cross-sectional study, anthropometry, blood pressure and bloods were collected using standardized methods to detect the prevalence of MetS using the harmonized method in a cohort of female Ghanaian market traders (n = 338). A questionnaire documented the knowledge of MetS. Linear regression was used to investigate the factors associated with knowledge and was reported as adjusted β values. Forty-two percent (n = 142) had MetS. The overall knowledge of MetS was low, driven by education (β = 0.22,
