Gender difference in metabolic syndrome and quality of life among elderly people in Noakhali, Bangladesh.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that significantly heighten the risk of non-communicable diseases, affecting the quality of life (QOL) of millions, including the elderly. Hence, the study aims to assess the prevalence of MetS and its impact on QOL among elderly population, with a focus on gender differences. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 400 elderly participants sought care at Noakhali General Hospital, Noakhali, Bangladesh. MetS was diagnosed based on National Cholesterol Education Program's (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria, while QOL was assessed using the brief version of the World Health Organization's QOL (WHOQOL-BREF) tool. Results: Results revealed that over 70 % of the elderly participants had MetS, with a significantly higher prevalence among females (79.2 %) compared to males (66.7 %). Gender disparities were also evident in QOL scores, with males reporting better outcomes across all domains-physical, psychological, social, and environmental. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that MetS negatively impacted the overall QOL for both genders, with more pronounced effects observed in females. Conclusion: The findings underscore the necessity of gender-specific interventions targeting MetS management to improve the overall well-being of the elderly.
