Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic comorbidities in colorectal cancer survivors: a nationwide cohort study on the role of metabolic syndrome.

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: Colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors are at increased risk of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) complications. Although metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a recognized precursor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the general population, its prognostic relevance in CRC survivors has not been well established. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 32,740 patients with a history of CRC who underwent health check-ups recorded in a national hospital-based database between 2005 and 2021. MetS was defined according to the Chinese Diabetes Society (2017) criteria, requiring central obesity (waist circumference ≥90 cm in men or ≥85 cm in women) and at least two of the following components: elevated blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or elevated fasting glucose. Patients were grouped by MetS status at baseline and followed for composite CVD outcomes, including myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, and heart failure. Results: Among 32,740 CRC survivors (median age 58 years; 65.2% male), 4,970 (15.2%) met the criteria for MetS. Over a mean follow-up of 945 ± 770 days, 2,137 composite CVD events occurred. Incidence rates were significantly higher in the MetS group than the non-MetS group (368.2 vs. 200.8 per 10,000 person-years). In multivariable Cox models, MetS was independently associated with elevated CVD risk (HR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.20-1.54). The association remained significant in male participants (HR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.24-1.64), but not in females (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.87-1.36). Subgroup analyses revealed consistent associations across strata of age, treatment status, and cancer type, with stronger effects observed in patients without obesity (P for interaction < 0.05). Among individual MetS components, elevated blood pressure and fasting glucose showed the strongest associations with CVD outcomes. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome is a significant predictor of cardiovascular events among colorectal cancer survivors in China.
