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

Objectives: To investigate the association between triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and the 1-year stroke recurrence risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and hypertension. Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter cohort study, multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were constructed, and curve fitting and subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate the aforementioned association. TyG-BMI was analyzed as a continuous variable and in quartiles (Q1-Q4). Sex-specific stratified analyses were performed to explore potential effect modifications. Results: Among 1,620 enrolled patients (39.6% women; mean age 65.2 ± 11.5 years), elevated TyG-BMI was significantly associated with increased 1-year stroke recurrence risk after adjusting for potential confounding factors (hazard ratio [HR]=1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.11, P = 0.032). This association was particularly prominent in women (HR = 1.18, 95%CI: 1.07-1.29, P<0.001). Women in the Q3 and Q4 TyG-BMI groups had significantly higher 1-year stroke recurrence risks (Q3: HR=8.81 95%CI: 2.22-34.97, P = 0.002; Q4: HR=5.79 95%CI: 1.49-22.56, P = 0.011) compared with those in the Q1 group. No significant association was observed in men (HR = 1.01, 95%CI: 0.94-1.08, P = 0.830). Segmented linear regression and curve fitting revealed a significant sex-specific nonlinear relationship between TyG-BMI and 1-year stroke recurrence risk. For women when TyG-BMI was below 221.97, each unit increase was associated with a more pronounced increase in the risk of 1-year stroke recurrence compared to patients above this threshold (adjusted HR = 1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.07, P = 0.005). Conclusion: Elevated TyG-BMI is independently associated with a higher risk of 1-year stroke recurrence in patients with AIS and hypertension. A significant association was identified only in women, specifically among those with a TyG-BMI below 221.97, below which each unit increase in TyG-BMI was associated with a significantly greater risk of 1-year stroke recurrence compared to those above this threshold.
