Metabolic syndrome prevalence and cardiovascular disease risk among school teachers.
Article in International journal of occupational medicine and environmental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesEducators face a wide range of recognized biological, physical, and other workplace hazards making them more susceptible to increasing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and associated cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) risks. The current research aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MetS and the likelihood of CVDs among school teachers. MATERIAL AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 281 participants chosen from schools in the El-Maadi region of Cairo, Egypt. Socio-demographic, occupational, and medical data were collected. Standard procedures were employed to assess fasting blood glucose (FBG), and lipid profile. Metabolic syndrome was defined using criteria from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). The 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk was estimated using the ASCVD risk score estimator as per the 2019 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guideline.
resultsMetabolic syndrome had an overall prevalence rate of 25.8%. Among the instructors evaluated, 73% had a low 10-year risk of getting CVDs, whereas 3.1% had a high risk. The study identified significant correlations between the prevalence of MetS and many characteristics, including age, marital status, length of job, level of education, smoking, prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, central obesity, measured blood pressure, FBG levels, and dyslipidemia among the participants.
conclusionsSchool teachers exhibit a considerable prevalence of MetS and risk of CVDs. Health promotion activities and stress management interventions should be implemented. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2025;38(3):309-323.
