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
aimThe study aims to identify distinct cardiometabolic phenotypes based on multiple metabolic risk indicators, assess their associations with sociodemographic characteristics, and evaluate income-related differences through cardiometabolic risk using decomposition methods to quantify the contribution of observed factors to these disparities. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 data. Adults aged 20 years and above with complete cardiometabolic biomarker data were included. Six cardiometabolic indicators including waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, glycated haemoglobin, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were used to derive latent phenotypes using latent class analysis. Multinomial logistic regression examined associations between sociodemographic factors and phenotype membership. Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis assessed income-related disparities in the high cardiometabolic risk phenotype.
resultsA total of 7733 participants were included in the analysis. A three class model demonstrated optimal fit and identified metabolically healthy (54.9%), hypertension-hyperglycemia (33.1%) and high cardiometabolic risk (11.9%) phenotypes. The high-risk phenotype exhibited elevated probabilities of obesity, dyslipidemia and glycaemic abnormalities. Increasing age, male sex, lower income and lower educational attainment were significantly associated with high risk phenotype membership. Decomposition analysis demonstrated modest income-related disparities, with waist circumference and education contributing the largest explained components.
conclusionCardiometabolic risk among U.S. adults clusters into three distinct phenotypes associated with sociodemographic and metabolic determinants. These findings highlight the need for integrated strategies targeting early metabolic dysregulation and broader social determinants of health.
