A Study of Neck Circumference in Metabolic Syndrome and Correlation With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors.
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 Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of developing chronic health issues, particularly those related to the heart and glucose metabolism. Neck circumference (NC) has emerged as a simple and effective anthropometric marker reflecting upper-body adiposity, with strong associations to insulin resistance and visceral fat distribution. Materials and methods A total of 160 people participated in this cross-sectional study, 80 of whom had metabolic syndrome and the remaining 80 of whom were age-matched controls. Participants were recruited from the Medicine and Allied Departments at M.S. Ramaiah Hospital. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed based on commonly accepted clinical criteria. Participants underwent clinical evaluation, anthropometric assessments, as well as laboratory tests such as fasting blood sugar (FBS) and lipid profile. NC was measured and analyzed for its correlation with various cardiometabolic risk factors. Results The mean NC was much greater in the case group compared to controls. NC was strongly positively correlated with triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, dimensions of the waist and hips, blood pressure, FBS, total cholesterol, and body mass index (BMI) (
