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

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is related to various cardiovascular diseases, but its relationship with stroke and all-cause mortality (ACM) in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) is still not well understood. This research sought to analyze the interaction between the TyG index and the occurrence of stroke and ACM in CAD participants. The dataset was derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), with 809 CAD patients included from 1999 to 2018. TyG index was determined by ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Findings showed that heightened TyG index values were markedly associated with a greater risk of stroke; a U-shaped interconnection was detected between the TyG index and stroke risk, with the threshold at 8.14. Individuals with a TyG index exceeding this threshold exhibited a markedly higher rate of stroke occurrence. Additionally, a J-shaped correlation was observed between the TyG index and ACM, with the threshold at 9.25, above which the risk of death increased. These findings indicate that the TyG index could act as a practical indicator for predicting stroke and ACM among CAD patients, particularly when considering threshold values.
