1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe aimed to investigate the associations of the triglyceride-glucose index, which measures insulin resistance, and the incidence of Parkinson's disease.

methodsOur study used the Health Screening Cohort database of the National Health Insurance Service of South Korea (2002-2019). We included 310,021 participants who had no previous history of Parkinson's disease and for whom more than 3 triglyceride-glucose index measurements were available. A diagnosis of Parkinson's disease was determined via the International Classification of Diseases Tenth edition (G20) with a specific reimbursement code for rare intractable diseases and a history of prescriptions for anti-Parkinsonism drugs.

resultsDuring a median of 9.64 years (interquartile range 8.72-10.53), 4,587 individuals (1.5%) had Parkinson's disease. Based on a multivariable time-dependent Cox proportional hazards model, a per-unit increase in triglyceride-glucose index score was associated with a significantly increased risk of Parkinson's disease (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.062; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.007-1.119). In a sensitivity analysis, the triglyceride-glucose index was associated with the incidence of Parkinson's disease in a non-diabetes mellitus cohort (HR: 1.093; 95% CI 1.025-1.165), but not in the diabetes mellitus cohort (HR: 0.990; 95% CI 0.902-1.087). In a restricted cubic spline analysis, the association between the triglyceride-glucose index and the incidence risk of Parkinson's disease showed a nonlinear increasing (J-shaped) trend.

conclusionOur study demonstrated that higher triglyceride-glucose index scores were associated with the incidence of Parkinson's disease in the general population, particularly in a nondiabetic mellitus cohort.
