Sex-Specific Cardiometabolic Phenotypes of Metabolic Syndrome Identified by Latent Class Analysis in Indian Adults.
Article in International journal of applied & basic medical research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) encompasses a constellation of cardiometabolic risk factors, yet its phenotypic diversity remains underexplored. Aim: The study aimed to identify sex-specific latent phenotypes of MetS using key clinical indicators and to evaluate their association with metabolic risk. Materials and Methods: We conducted a latent class analysis among 440 adults aged 20-55 years using five indicators - waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Sex-specific models and sensitivity analyses were used to assess measurement invariance and model robustness. Results: A three-class model demonstrated optimal fit (lowest Bayesian Information Criterion, entropy ≥0.99). Class 1 (43%) was predominantly low-risk, with minimal abdominal obesity and no hypertension. Class 2 (23%) represented a hypertensive-adiposity phenotype, characterized by universal elevated waist circumference and systolic hypertension but moderate insulin resistance. Class 3 (35%) was marked by pronounced insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, with high HOMA-IR and triglycerides (TG) despite minimal hypertension. Sex-stratified models fit significantly better than pooled models ( Conclusion: Our findings highlight three robust cardiometabolic phenotypes with distinct sex-specific profiles. The hypertensive-adiposity and insulin-resistant classes suggest divergent risk pathways requiring tailored interventions. Even the low-risk group exhibited intermediate lipid elevation, supporting the need for universal lifestyle counseling alongside precision screening strategies.
