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
objectivesThis study examined the association between various tobacco product use behaviors and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Korean adults.
methodsData from 15 359 adults aged ≥19 years who participated in the 2020-2022 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Participants were classified as dual users, e-cigarettes (EC; nicotine-containing liquid-type)/ heated tobacco products (HTP) users, cigarette-only users, ex-smokers, or non-smokers. MetS was defined according to the NCEP ATP III criteria. Subgroup analyses were conducted by survey year and age group. Complex-sample cross-tabulation and logistic regression analyses were performed.
resultsAll types of tobacco product use were associated with an increased likelihood of MetS compared with non-smokers. This association was particularly evident among dual users (odds ratio [OR], 1.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12 to 1.94) and cigarette-only users (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.41). The highest risk was observed among adults aged 19-39 years and among dual users in 2020.
conclusionsDual use and cigarette smoking were associated with a higher likelihood of MetS, particularly among younger adults. Efforts are needed to reduce the misconception that EC/HTP products are less harmful alternatives and to strengthen education and prevention in order to prevent changes in tobacco use behavior from leading to new health risks.
