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

This study aims to explore the relationship between the Triglyceride Glucose Body Mass Index (TyG-BMI) and the risk of developing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we included 3301 men aged 45 and above. We analyzed the association between TyG-BMI and the risk of developing BPH using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models. During the 4-year follow-up period, 268 cases of BPH were identified. There was a positive correlation between TyG-BMI and the risk of BPH (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.08-1.38, p < 0.001), with a significant dose-response relationship (P < 0.001). Stratified analyses indicated that the impact of TyG-BMI on BPH risk was consistent across various subgroups. There is a linear positive correlation between TyG-BMI and the risk of developing BPH. Managing TyG-BMI levels may help reduce the risk of BPH.
