1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgruoundTo investigate the association of adherence to five modifiable lifestyle factors (limiting alcohol, physical activity, limiting smoking, favorable diet quality, and adequate sleep) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in Korean adults.

methodsHealth Examinees Study data were used, and 41,368 participants aged 40 to 69 years were included. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses assessed the associations of individual and combined healthy lifestyle factors (32 and 16 lifestyle profiles in men and women.

resultsDuring a median 4.2-year follow-up, 6,213 participants were newly diagnosed with MetS. Adherence to more healthy lifestyle factors (4-5 vs. 0-1) could lower MetS risk by 28% and 12% in men and women (hazard ratio [HR], 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63 to 0.83 in men; HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.78 to 0.99 in women). Each additional healthy lifestyle could reduce the risk of MetS by 10% and 6% in men and women. The pooled analysis yielded similar results based on similar numbers of healthy lifestyle factors, the risk of MetS decreased as the number of healthy lifestyle factors increased.

conclusionAdherence to more healthy lifestyle factors was inversely associated with MetS risk. These findings highlight the importance of limiting drinking in managing MetS. Future research should consider the synergistic effects of emerging lifestyle factors, such as sleep duration, on chronic disease development, while focusing on the effects of traditional lifestyle factors.
