Protein source associated with risk of metabolic syndrome in adults with low and adequate protein intake: A prospective cohort study of middle-aged and older adults.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesMetabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Some evidence suggests that the cardiometabolic health benefits of protein intake may vary by the source (animal or plant); however, the evidence is inconsistent. This study aimed to assess the risk of developing metabolic syndrome according to the protein source.
participantsAmong a total of 3,310 participants aged 40 years or older in the Ansan and Ansung population based prospective cohort, 1,543 incident cases of metabolic syndrome were identified between 2007 and 2018. MEASUREMENTS: Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by quintile (Q), adjusting for demographics and health-related lifestyle factors.
resultsHigher intake of animal protein (HR
conclusionA higher absolute and relative intake of animal protein were associated with a significantly decreased risk of metabolic syndrome, particularly among those who consumed less than the RNI of protein.
