Additive impact of metabolic syndrome and sarcopenia on all-cause and cause-specific mortality: an analysis of NHANES.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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) and sarcopenia (SP) are increasingly significant public health issues in aging societies, sharing common pathophysiological mechanisms and being associated with severe health consequences. This study investigates the impact of MetS and SP on all-cause and cause-specific mortality using a longitudinal, nationally representative population-based cohort. Methods: The study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2018. Mortality data were obtained from the National Death Index up to December 2019. Results: Among the 21,962 participants, 13,517 (61.5%) had neither MetS nor SP(MetS-/SP-), 5,407 (24.6%) had MetS only(MetS+/SP-), 2,698 (12.2%) had SP only(MetS-/SP+), and 340 (1.5%) had both MetS and SP(MetS+/SP+). Compared to the group without MetS and SP, the groups with MetS only, SP only, and both MetS and SP showed increased all-cause mortality, with adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of 1.23 (95% CI: 1.11-1.37), 1.63 (95% CI: 1.41-1.89), and 1.61 (95% CI: 1.33-1.95), respectively. The MetS+/SP+ group had the highest overall mortality risk (trend test p<0.0001). For cause-specific mortality, the MetS+/SP+ group exhibited increased cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.27-2.81), cardiac mortality (HR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.25-2.86), respiratory mortality (HR: 2.63, 95% CI: 1.29-5.35), and diabetes mortality (HR: 8.79, 95% CI: 2.62-29.45) compared to the group without MetS and SP. Conclusion: The coexistence of MetS and SP significantly increases the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Individuals with either condition may require more vigilant management to prevent the onset of the other condition, thereby reducing mortality rates. These findings highlight the importance of integrated healthcare strategies targeting both MetS and SP to improve patient outcomes and longevity.
