Serum CA19-9 as a predictor of incident metabolic syndrome in obese middle-aged and older men: A 9-year cohort study.

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
BackgroundThe status of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in metabolic syndrome (MetS) is unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between serum CA19-9 levels and incident metabolic syndrome in obese middle-aged and older men.MethodsFrom 2007 to 2015, 1,750 participants were retrospectively reviewed. Health checkup data were obtained, and participants were divided into three groups based on CA19-9 levels. Various parameters including BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters were measured. Cox regression analysis was used to assess the association between CA19-9 levels and incident MetS. The MetS diagnostic criteria were based on the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines.ResultsThe highest CA19-9 tertile was associated with an increased risk of incident MetS, high systolic blood pressure, high waist circumference, high fasting plasma glucose, low high-density lipoprotein, and high triglyceride levels. The observation period was 9 years, during which 328 (18.7%) new-onset MetS cases were identified. Subgroup analysis showed increased risk among individuals in the highest CA19-9 tertile who were obese, male, and ≥ 50 years old.ConclusionsThere is a positive correlation between serum CA19-9 levels and incident metabolic syndrome in obese middle-aged and older men.
