Association between cumulative average triglyceride glucose-body mass index and the risk of CKD onset.

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
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a significant global public health challenge, which was reported to be highly correlated with the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI). Nevertheless, literature exploring the association between changes in the TyG-BMI and CKD incidence is scant, with most studies focusing on individual values of the TyG-BMI. We aimed to investigate whether cumulative average in the TyG-BMI were associated with CKD incidence. Methods: Data in our study were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), which is an ongoing nationally representative prospective cohort study. The exposure was the cumulative average TyG-BMI from 2011 to 2015. The TyG-BMI was calculated by the formula ln [TG (mg/dl) × FBG (mg/dl)/2] × BMI (kg/m Results: Of the 6117 participants (mean [SD] age at baseline, 58.64 [8.61] years), 2793 (45.7%) were men. During the 4 years of follow-up, 470 (7.7%) incident CKD cases were identified. After adjusting for potential confounders, compared to the participants in the lowest quartile of cumulative average TyG-BMI, participants in the 3rd and 4th quartile had a higher risk of CKD onset. The ORs and 95%CIs were [1.509(1.147, 1.990)] and [1.452(1.085, 1.948)] respectively. In addition, restricted cubic spline showed the cumulative average TyG-BMI had a liner association ( Conclusions: The cumulative average in the TyG-BMI was independently associated with the risk of CKD in middle-aged and older adults. Monitoring long-term changes in the TyG-BMI may assist with the early identification of individuals at high risk of CKD.
