High serum EDA concentration is associated with metabolic syndrome and its determinants.

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
backgroundEctodysplasin A (EDA) is a novel hepatokine that plays a role in multiple metabolic-related diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum EDA levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS).
methodsA total of 348 subjects, 258 patients with MetS and 90 healthy controls were enrolled. Serum EDA levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The correlation between EDA and various metabolic components was assessed.
resultsThe serum EDA levels of subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS) were significantly higher than those without [323.78 (259.68-400.74) vs. 254.82 (182.68-347.88) pg/mL, P < 0.001]. The serum EDA level increases with the increase in metabolic score. The linear regression model revealed that age, blood pressure, fasting insulin (FIns), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and HOMA-IR were independent factors influencing EDA levels. Furthermore, in the logistic regression model, subjects in the highest tertile of EDA had a significantly higher risk of MetS, higher blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and lower HDL-C compared to those in the lowest tertile. This conclusion remained valid after adjusting for multiple confounding factors.
conclusionsThe research results for the first time found that the circulating EDA levels in patients with metabolic syndrome were significantly elevated and associated with hypertension, hyperglycemia, lower HDL-C, and insulin resistance risk, indicating that EDA may play a role in the occurrence of metabolic syndrome and may be a potential therapeutic target for metabolic syndrome.
