Associations of the fasting triglyceride glucose index with pulse wave velocity vary by age and gender.
Article in Archives of endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study determined the optimal cutoff point for the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index for predicting subclinical atherosclerosis (SA). Subjects and.
methodsOverall, 10,039 participants (5,598 men and 4,441 women) aged > 18 years were recruited from Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital. Demographic information was provided, and the TyG index was calculated. The TyG index was categorized into quartiles, and SA was assessed by measuring brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). The cutoff point for the TyG index was determined via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
resultsSA incidence increased with increasing TyG index in both men (from 5.929% in Group I to 10.579% in Group IV; P < 0.001) and women (from 2.074% in Group I to 14.955% in Group IV; P < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that a higher TyG index was associated with an elevated risk of SA in men (odds ratio [OR] 4.028, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.811-5.711) and women (OR 2.599, 95% CI 1.86-5.543). ROC curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve was 0.572 (95% CI = 0.541-0.602; P < 0.001) for men and 0.694 (95% CI = 0.668-0.721; P < 0.001) for women. The optimal TyG index cutoff points for predicting subclinical atherosclerosis were 8.961 for men (sensitivity, 46.5%; specificity, 67.9%) and 8.254 for women (sensitivity, 79.7%; specificity, 49.9%).
conclusionThe TyG index is a composite indicator of dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia. In clinical practice, women with TyG index values above the cutoff should be further evaluated for the underlying pulse wave velocity.
