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: The association of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and related TyG metrics with obesity indices has been demonstrated to correlate with the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nonetheless, this relationship has not been thoroughly investigated in patients with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome stages 0-3. Methods: This study involved 7364 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Cox risk regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were used to analyze the correlation between the TyG index and related TyG indicators and the incidence rate of cardiovascular disease. To compare predictive performance, time-dependent Harrell's C-indices, net reclassification index and integrated discrimination improvement were conducted. Results: Research shows that the TyG index and all TyG-related indexes can predict the incidence rate of CVD. RCS regression analysis showed that all indicators were linearly related to the incidence rate of CVD. The linear relationship between TyG and waist circumference (TyG-WC) or waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) still exists in CKM stages 1, 2, and 3. Compared with the TyG index (C-index: 0.611, p<0.001) and TyG-BMI (C-coefficient: 0.616, p<0.001), TyG-WC (C-index: 0.621, p<0.001) and TyG-WHtR (C-index: 0.621, p<0.001) have better effects on predicting the incidence rate of CVD. Conclusion: Both the TyG index and the TyG-related index are independent predictors of the incidence rate of CVD in patients with CKM syndrome stage 0-3. Importantly, TyG-WC and TyG-WHtR have a better predictive effect.
