Association between triglyceride-glucose index and depression in middle-aged and older adults with hypertension: insights from the CHARLS study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Depression is a common comorbidity in hypertensive patients, but its metabolic predictors remain underexplored. This study investigates the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and depression risk in hypertensive individuals aged ≥ 45 years. Using longitudinal data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we analyzed 3549 participants, categorizing TyG levels into quartiles and defining depression based on a score of ≥ 12 on the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Logistic regression indicated that participants in the highest TyG quartile had a significantly higher risk of depression (odds ratio [OR]: 1.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21-2.51, P < 0.001). Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a linear dose-response relationship. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the TyG index was a more accurate predictor of depression risk compared to individual triglyceride and glucose measures. These findings suggest that elevated TyG levels are associated with an increased risk of depression in hypertensive middle-aged and older adults, highlighting its potential as a biomarker for identifying high-risk individuals.
