Associations of Circadian and Metabolic Syndromes with Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes in Qatar: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2025. 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
Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). A combination of MetS with Circadian rhythm disorder (CRD) may be a stronger risk factor for CVDs than MetS alone. We conducted a nationally representative cross-sectional study to compare the associations of CRD and MetS with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and CVDs in Qatar. Methods: Sociodemographic and health information were collected. MetS status was determined based on standard international criteria. CRD was defined based on either i) short sleep duration (≤ 6 hours per night) and MetS or (ii) short sleep duration, self-reported depression (or PHQ-2 score ≥ 3) and two components of MetS. Results: A total of 2523 respondents completed the interview, with a mean age of 37.1 years (SD = 11.2), women (n=637, 27.3%), and Qataris (n=754, 32.3%). The overall prevalence of MetS and CRD was 6.8% (95% CI: 5.4-8.5) and 2.4% (95% CI: 1.7-3.4), respectively; MetS was more prevalent in men (7.0%) compared to women (5.8%); the opposite was true for CRD (women 4.4% vs men 2.4%). Older age was a predictor of both MetS and CRD. Compared to Qataris, blue-collar expatriates had lower odds of MetS (OR = 0.32, 95% CI 0.23-0.58) and CRD (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.20-1.05). Current married status was positively associated with MetS, but not CRD. Both MetS (OR=19.08, 95% CI: 10.87-33.50) and CRD (OR=10.32, 95% CI: 4.60-23.17) were strongly associated with T2DM. Similarly, MetS (OR = 5.51, 95% CI: 2.33-13.03) and CRD (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 0.92-4.42) were associated with CVDs. Conclusion: MetS showed potentially stronger associations than CRD with T2DM and CVDs in Qatar. Further research is needed into the predictive utility of CRD compared with MetS for these outcomes in different populations including the Middle East.
