Association of Metabolic Syndrome and Stroke in Adults: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Stroke is a global health issue and a major contributor to morbidity and mortality. In India, the incidence rate of stroke is on a rising trend. Metabolic syndrome has close associations with the pathogenesis of stroke. Evidence of the association between various other risk factors and stroke is scarce in developing countries like India. This study aims to determine the association between metabolic syndrome and stroke. Methodology An unmatched case-control study was conducted at Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences And Research (VIMSAR), Burla, Odisha, India, taking 56 cases of stroke and 56 controls without stroke from September 2022 to August 2024. The study population included patients admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine. Study participants were selected randomly from the In-Patient Department thrice weekly. Data were collected using a predesigned, pre-tested questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS v. 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, US). Proportions, the chi-square test, and binary logistic regression were applied to arrive at the final interpretation. Results Of 112 study participants, 71 (63.4%) were males and the rest were females. The median age in cases was 62.5 (70, 56) and 50 (60, 38.5) in controls. Metabolic syndrome (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.8), salt intake >1 teaspoon per day (AOR = 10.0), age > 60 years (AOR = 5.3), BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
