Triglyceride index as a predictor of mortality after cardiac surgery.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker for insulin resistance, has been linked to adverse cardiac outcomes. Its role in predicting mortality following cardiac surgery remains unclear. Methods: This study analyzed 1,810 cardiac surgery patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, categorized by TyG index levels. Mortality was the primary outcome, assessed through Cox proportional hazards regression, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and restricted cubic splines. Results: Over a 13-year follow-up, 83 patients died. Higher TyG index levels were associated with increased mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.206, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.121-1.297, Conclusions: Elevated TyG index levels are significantly associated with higher mortality risk after cardiac surgery, highlighting its potential as a prognostic marker in this population.
