The association of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio with metabolic syndrome in U.S. Adults: Findings from the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination survey.
Article in Journal of clinical & translational endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Background: Identifying and treating metabolic syndrome (MetS) early is of great importance, as MetS portends numerous negative health outcomes. Identifying an inexpensive, readily available inflammatory biomarker that accurately predicts MetS could be of use to clinicians. Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and MetS in U.S. adults. We used data from adult participants of the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys to conduct a cross-sectional study. MetS was determined using National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (2005 revision) criteria; NLR was calculated by dividing the absolute neutrophil count by absolute lymphocyte count. Data were weighted and analyzed using survey procedures in SAS v9.4. Results: Data from 101,316 participants were reviewed, of whom 19,613 were eligible for weighted analysis. MetS was observed in 40.3 % of participants (n = 7,896), who met 3 Conclusions: Among U.S. adults, NLR was associated with MetS and MetS severity, independent of age and race/ethnicity.
