Association between triglyceride-glucose index and myocardial injury in patients with heat stroke: an observational, retrospective study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Heat stroke (HS) can lead to myocardial injury (MI), a critical factor affecting patient prognosis. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate marker for insulin resistance, has been associated with MI in patients with ischemic stroke and diabetes. However, its relationship with MI in HS patients remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the correlation between the TyG index and MI in HS patients. Clinical data from HS patients admitted to the emergency department of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, between July 1, 2022, and September 30, 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into MI and non-MI groups based on the presence of MI. MI was defined as cardiac troponin ≥ 1.5 ng/mL. Multivariate logistic regression evaluated the association between the TyG index at admission and MI. A restricted cubic spline (modeled with four knots) was used to assess the dose-response relationship between the TyG index and MI. The study included 169 HS patients (mean age: 55 years; 85 [50.3%] male), of whom 63 (32.7%) developed MI. After adjusting for confounders, multivariate logistic regression revealed a nonlinear association between the TyG index and MI risk. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a non-linear relationship between the TyG index and MI risk, with a decreasing trend observed for TyG values ≤ 8.897, followed by a marked increase in risk for values ≥ 8.966. Female patients and those in specific age groups (18-44 and 75-89 years) exhibited higher risk of MI. This study identifies a U-shaped relationship between the TyG index and MI in HS patients, highlighting the TyG index's potential indicator value and underscoring the importance of gender and age in risk assessment.
