Correlation between Metabolic Syndrome and Gastric Cancer: Results of an Evidence-Based Strategy in Oriental Populations.
Synthesis in Combinatorial chemistry & high throughput screening, 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
backgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors, including abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignancy with significant mortality rates. The relationship between MetS and GC risk remains controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the correlation between MetS and GC.
methodsCase-control studies investigating the association between MetS and GC were obtained from various databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and PubMed. The search was performed from the inception of each database up until September, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies. A meta-analysis of the included literature was conducted using Stata 12.0 software. The study protocol is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023490410).
resultsA total of eight studies involving a combined sample size of forty-four thousand eight hundred and seventy participants were included in the meta-analysis. The findings revealed that the risk of developing GC was not significantly associated with body mass index, triglycerides, hypertension, high fasting glucose, or MetS. However, it was found to be positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 1.69, 95%CI: 1.35-2.12).
conclusionThis meta-analysis suggests that MetS is not significantly associated with an increased risk of GC. The risk of GC increases with the presence of individual MetS components, such as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Therefore, GC prevention strategies should include lifestyle modifications and targeted interventions to manage MetS and its components.
