Association between the triglyceride-glucose index and left ventricular myocardial work indices in patients with coronary artery disease.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, as an effective surrogate marker of insulin resistance, has shown predictive value in the risk of heart failure in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to investigate the correlation between TyG index and myocardial work measurements in CAD, and to explore its role in detecting early subclinical cardiac dysfunction. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 267 patients diagnosed with CAD and excluding left ventricular myocardial dysfunction in Beijing Hospital. Participants were divided into two groups according to the TyG index level, and myocardial work measurements were compared between groups. The correlation was explored between gradually increased TyG index and subclinical myocardial function in CAD patients. Results: We observed that TyG index was significantly correlated with the global waste work (GWW), and the value of GWW increased progressively with the elevation of TyG index. After adjusting for the effects of confounding factors, TyG index was still independently associated with GWW. Conclusion: An elevated TyG index was independently correlated with early subclinical myocardial dysfunction in CAD patients. Our study demonstrated that the strict control of TyG index may be conducive to forestall the progression of clinical heart failure in CAD patients.
