Association between chronic hepatitis B infection and metabolic syndrome.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeThe association between chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection and metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains inconclusive. This study was designed to determine the association between CHB infection and MetS among the US population with updated data and adjustments for a comprehensive set of risk factors.
methodsAdults aged 18 years or older who were clinically assessed for Hepatitis B and MetS from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, and 2013-2014 cycles were included in the study (
resultsMetS was less prevalent among adults with CHB compared to adults without CHB (12.1% vs. 18.8%,
conclusionsCHB was inversely associated with MetS, high waist circumference, and hypoalphalipoproteinemia. No significant association was found between CHB and other MetS components.
