Triglyceride-glucose index as a novel biomarker for mild cognitive impairment in patients with coronary artery disease.
Article in Biomarkers in medicine, 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
backgroundPatients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are at an increased risk of cognitive impairment, yet reliable noninvasive biomarkers for identifying high-risk individuals in this population remain scarce. This study aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and cognitive function in patients with CAD.
methodsThis study included 1163 patients with CAD who underwent cognitive function assessment. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and cognitive function. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to determine the discriminatory ability of the TyG index in identifying patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
resultsThe TyG index was negatively correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores (
conclusionThe TyG index is independently associated with cognitive function in patients with CAD, with elevated values associated with an increased risk of MCI.
