Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and Its Association With Menopausal Symptoms in Post-Menopausal Women: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Complex metabolic dysregulation leads to metabolic syndrome (MetS) causing various symptoms such as type II diabetes, central obesity, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), altered glucose metabolism, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and is thought to be influenced by a number of factors, including migration from rural to urban areas. socioeconomic changes, and a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, the primary goal of this scoping review was to determine the prevalence of MetS and its components as well as to understand the association between MetS and menopausal symptoms in post-menopausal women. The search strategy included articles that were published from 2010 onwards in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The eligibility criteria included population, concept and context (PCC) format and based on it, 10 articles were included in this review. The review concluded that in comparison to pre-menopausal women, MetS is more common in post-menopausal women who are likely to experience somatic complaints and positive correlation of vasomotor symptoms with MetS. Hence, post-menopausal women can be counselled regarding menopausal symptoms related to MetS for which appropriate and adequate treatment or measures should be taken.
