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
Investigating the non-auditory effects of noise on humans has been of interest from different aspects. In this study, the relationship between noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and metabolic syndrome. This cross-sectional study was performed on 1380 male workers of one of the oil and gas companies in the south of Iran. The data was obtained via clinical examination and hearing status assessment to evaluate the metabolic syndrome and its components, intravenous blood samples were taken and tested according to NCEPATPIII criteria. For statistical analysis, the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 25 at a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that the body mass index variable increased the chance of developing metabolic syndrome by 11.4%. NIHL increases the chance of developing metabolic syndrome (OR = 1.291). Also, the same results were observed in hypertriglyceridemia OR = 1.255, waist circumference (OR = 1.163), fasting blood sugar (OR = 1.159), blood pressure (OR = 1.068) and HDL (OR = 1.051). Considering the effect of NIHL on metabolic syndrome, it is possible to help reducing the incidence of metabolic syndrome and any of its components by controlling noise exposure and accordingly reducing non-auditory injuries to individuals.
