Association of the triglyceride-glucose index and the ratio of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol with fetal macrosomia in nulliparous pregnant women: a prospective case-control study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06463990 (Association Between the Triglyceride-glucose Index and the Ratio of Triglyceride to High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol With Fetal Macrosomia in Low-risk Nulliparous Pregnant Women), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) and the ratio of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) with fetal macrosomia in nulliparous pregnant women.
designA prospective case-control study.
settingAnkara Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Maternal's Health Education and Training Hospital. POPULATION: Nulliparous singleton pregnant women.
methodsA prospective case-control study was conducted from January 2023 to June 2024.
main outcome measureDemonstrating the relationship between the TyG index and the TG/HDL-C with fetal macrosomia.
resultsIn all, 302 nulliparous singleton pregnant women were grouped into a study group (n = 151) and a control group (n = 151). Pregnant women who had a higher TyG index and TG/HDL-C valıue had a significantly higher incidence of fetal macrosomia. The optimal sensitivity/specificity value for the TG/HDL-C to detect macrosomic fetus was > 3,63, which is the cut-off value for using the TG/HDL-C at a specificity of 89% and a sensitivity of 83% with the best area under the curve of 0,927 and a 95% confidence interval of 0,892-0,954. For the TyG index, the other main parameter of the present study, a cut-off point of > 4,88 was optimal, with a sensitivity of 0,76 and a specificity of 0,78 at this cut-off point. However, no differences were observed in maternal age, body mass index, gravidity, history of abortion, smoking status and working status.
conclusionA higher TyG index and a higher TG/HDL-C ratio in maternal blood in late gestation indicate a metabolic process that causes fetal macrosomia. The cut-off value for the TyG index (> 4.88) at 78% specificity and a cut-off value for the TG/HDL-C ratio (> 3,63) at 89% specificity can be used as a predictive test. Physicians should be more cautious about the risk of macrosomic fetuses when these values of the current test results are available. The limitation of this study, however, was that it only concerned a single center.
