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
Purpose: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is linked to adverse outcomes in chronic diseases, but its impact on acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly critically ill patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between MetS and 90-day mortality in this population. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis included 774 elderly patients (≥65 years) with AKI admitted to the ICU from January 2022 to December 2023. MetS was defined as the presence of at least three of the following: central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Propensity score matching (PSM) balanced baseline characteristics between MetS and non-MetS groups. The primary outcome was 90-day all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcome was renal recovery at discharge. Multivariate Cox regression assessed the independent association of MetS with 90-day mortality. Results: After PSM, 294 patients (147 MetS and 147 non-MetS) were included. The MetS group had a significantly higher 90-day mortality rate compared to the non-MetS group (44.9% vs 31.3%, Conclusion: MetS is independently associated with increased 90-day mortality and impaired renal recovery in elderly critically ill patients with AKI.
