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

Background: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has recently been established as an indicator of insulin resistance and has predictive value for cardiovascular (CV) disease. However, the clinical significance of the TyG index in patients undergoing hemodialysis remains unknown. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 759 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The participants were divided into tertiles based on their baseline TyG index. Echocardiographic parameters, vascular calcification scores, and several plasma biomarkers were obtained and compared using the TyG index. Results: The TyG index was positively correlated with levels of circulating vascular pathologic markers, endostatin ( Conclusions: The TyG index was associated with vascular pathology markers and an increased risk of adverse CV outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Our study suggests that the TyG index has the potential to assist clinicians in identifying a high CV risk in hemodialysis patients.
