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

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasingly prevalent in individuals aged ≤45 years, yet effective early detection strategies remain lacking. Insulin resistance (IR) and remnant cholesterol (RC) burden are critical contributors to early atherosclerosis, highlighting the potential utility of novel markers such as the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and RC. Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed 458 patients aged ≤45 years who underwent coronary angiography (CAG). The TyG index and RC were calculated using standard fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and lipid profiles. Participants were classified into normal coronary, CAD, single-vessel disease (SVD), and multi-vessel disease (MVD) groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of CAD and MVD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the discriminative ability of TyG and RC. Results: Both the TyG index and RC were significantly higher in patients with CAD compared with controls ( Discussion: The TyG index and RC are independent, complementary, and accessible biomarkers for assessing early CAD risk in young adults. RC showed higher sensitivity in identifying the presence of CAD, while higher TyG index values were associated with multi-vessel involvement. Incorporating these markers into screening protocols may enhance early risk stratification and help prevent premature atherosclerosis in young populations.
