Low-grade inflammation score (INFLA- score) associated with metabolic syndrome and its components in shift workers.

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
objectiveTo explore the relationship between the low-grade inflammation score (INFLA-score) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in shift workers working in the oilfield operations in Karamay City, Xinjiang, and to provide data support for the effective prevention of MetS through the reduction of systemic inflammatory responses.
methodsINFLA-score was calculated based on C-reactive protein, leukocyte count, platelet count, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in 1,758 shift workers working at the oilfield base in Karamay City, Xinjiang, China, in the year 2023, as the study population. A logistic regression analysis model combined with restricted cubic spline was used to analyze the relationship between INFLA-score and MetS and its components in shift workers.
resultsA total of 1758 shift workers were included, of whom 785 were diagnosed with MetS. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that those with higher INFLA score had a higher likelihood of developing MetS (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.07-1.10). In the Q1-Q4 INFLA quartile group, the risk of developing MetS was 3.58 times higher in the Q4 group than in the Q1 group. After adjusting for all confounders, INFLA-score was found to be positively associated with elevated blood glucose, blood pressure, waist circumference, triglyceride levels, and lower HDL (p < 0.001). Restricted cubic spline results showed a dose-response relationship between INFLA-score and MetS and its components. In subgroup analyses and interaction tests, women had a higher risk of MetS than men (men: OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.05-1.09, p < 0.001; women: OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.09-1.16, p < 0.001), and the interaction showed that there was an effect of the association between sex and INFLA score on the occurrence of MetS (interaction p < 0.05).
conclusionsElevated INFLA-score was associated with MetS among shift workers, and the INFLA-score was a simple, cost-effective test for MetS. Therefore, MetS can be combated by controlling the levels of inflammatory factors in shift workers.
