Perceived Thermoregulation Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Symptom Burden in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome: A Multicountry Questionnaire-Based Study.
Article in Juntendo medical journal, 2026. 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 (MetS), as a clustering of health disorders, has been linked to the onset of cardiovascular disease. Less is known about how flexible the body is in controlling its own temperature. If this system doesn't work right, it can add stress on the heart and blood vessels. Objective: To investigate the relationship between symptoms of thermoregulation dysfunction and cardiovascular symptom burden among MetS patients in various countries. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey among 603 adult MetS patients from Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. Perceived thermoregulation dysfunction was evaluated with the secretomotor scale of the Composite Autonomic Symptom Score (COMPASS-31), and cardiovascular symptoms were determined with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Correlations, Mann-Whitney U tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests and multiple regression were used as statistical tests. Results: A higher score for thermoregulation dysfunctions was associated with lower SAQ scores, reflecting worse HRQL (ρ = -0.350, p < 0.001). Women had more symptoms and worse quality of life compared to men, and older age was associated with dysfunction and worse outcomes (both p < 0.001). The independent predictors of worse SAQ scores in univariate analysis were a higher COMPASS score, older age, female sex, higher body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, and longer disease duration.
