Association between TyG-related parameters and NAFLD risk in Japanese non-obese population.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) constitutes a substantial proportion of cases among the non-obese population, yet it is frequently overlooked. Studies investigating the association between triglyceride-glucose (TyG)-related parameters (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR) and NAFLD in non-obese individuals is limited. Thus, this study aims to investigate the association between TyG-related parameters and NAFLD in non-obese individuals to improve early detection and intervention strategies for NAFLD in this population. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the NAFLD database, including 11,987 participants who underwent health examinations between 2004 and 2015. Logistic regression models were employed to evaluate the relationship between TyG-related parameters and NAFLD risk, incorporating cubic spline functions and smooth curve fitting to identify potential nonlinear relationships. ROC curve analysis was conducted to assess the predictive performance of thee parameters. After controlling for confounding variables, the incidence of NAFLD in non-obese individuals increased with higher TyG-related parameters. Notably, nonlinear relationships between the TyG index and its related parameters regarding NAFLD risk were identified. The areas under the ROC curve for the TyG index and its related parameters were 0.7984, 0.8553, 0.8584, and 0.8353, respectively. Importantly, the predictive ability of the TyG index and its related parameters was stronger in the female population than in that of males. A positive and nonlinear relationship exists between the TyG-related parameters in relation to the risk of NAFLD. The TyG-related parameters exhibit predictive capabilities for NAFLD, with TyG-related parameters demonstrating greater strength than the TyG index itself.
