Triglyceride-glucose index correlates with the incidences and prognoses of cardiac arrest following acute myocardial infarction: data from two large-scale cohorts.
Article in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, renowned for its efficacy and convenience in assessing insulin resistance, has been validated as a reliable indicator for various cardiovascular conditions. The current study aims for clarifying the link of TyG with the incidences and prognoses of cardiac arrest (CA) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
methodsOur analysis is a multicenter, retrospective study utilizing data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV and the eICU Collaborative Research Database. Patients with AMI for whom TyG could be calculated within the first 24 h after admission were included. The main endpoints were in-hospital and ICU mortalities. Correlations between TyG and outcomes were evaluated using logistic regression models, restricted cubic splines (RCS), as well as correlation and linear analyses. Overlap weighting (OW), inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), and propensity score matching (PSM) methodologies were utilized to balance the cohorts, thereby minimizing potential biases. Subgroup analyses were performed in accordance with identified modifiers.
resultsIn total, 5208 individuals diagnosed with AMI, among whom 371 developed CA, were ultimately included. Higher TyG levels were observed among AMI populations with CA compared to those without [9.2 (8.7-9.7) vs. 9.0 (8.5-9.4)], and TyG demonstrated a moderate discriminatory capacity for identifying CA occurrences within entire AMI populations. Multivariate logistic regressions revealed TyG serves a significant risk indicator for both in-hospital (OR 1.711) and ICU mortalities (OR 1.520) in AMI-CA patients, and it is also associated with prolonged LOSs. RCS analyses confirmed linear relationships of ascending TyG with increased mortality risks for AMI-CA (P for nonlinearity: 0.592 and 0.816, respectively), which persisted following PSM, OW, and IPTW adjustments. Subgroup analyses further identified a strong link of the TyG with mortality rates among elders, females, individuals with BMI < 28 kg/m
conclusionsElevated TyG levels were found to apparently correlate with higher prevalence and adverse outcomes regarding CA in patients with AMI. Our findings point a fresh insight into the significance of the TyG in critically ill coronary conditions.
