Associations of triglyceride-glucose index with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and mortality in middle-aged and elderly individuals.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TYG) index is a simple marker for insulin resistance (IR). However, its relationship with elevated NT-proBNP levels is not well understood in middle-aged and elderly individuals without known cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Methods: The study cohort data were derived from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and inpatients of the Department of Cardiology at Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (JSHTCM). Multivariable logistic regression was employed to assess the relationship between the TYG index and elevated NT-proBNP. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the adjusted risk ratio of the TYG index for all-cause mortality. Furthermore, restricted cubic spline (RCS) plots were generated to visually represent the linear or non-linear relationships between the TYG index and elevated NT-proBNP as well as all-cause mortality. Results: The age-standardized prevalence of elevated NT-proBNP among middle-aged and elderly individuals was 29.21% in females and 17.08% in males. A negative correlation was observed between the TYG index and elevated NT-proBNP, study cohort 1: [T3 vs T1: OR (95% CI): 0.73 (0.55, 0.96), Conclusions: The TYG index level is negatively correlated with the incidence of elevated NT-proBNP and is associated with all-cause mortality, regardless of the presence of elevated NT-proBNP.
