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

backgroundCardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome integrates metabolic, renal, and cardiovascular disease risk. While increasing evidence suggests that triglyceride-glucose (TyG)-related indices are associated with the future risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), their link to CMM in CKM syndrome has not been established.

methodsThis study analyzed participants with CKM syndrome stage 0-3 from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 to 2020. We used Cox regression analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves, and Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curves to evaluate the relationship between TyG-related indices and CMM risk in patients with CKM stage 0-3 syndrome. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) analyses were used to assess the predictive performance of the TyG-related indices for CMM.

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 9 years, 652 participants (9.5%) developed CMM. The fully adjusted model revealed an elevated CMM risk across the highest quartiles of all indices, with hazard increases ranging from 72 to over 200%. A linear dose-response relationship was observed for most indices, except for triglyceride glucose-a body shape index (TyG-ABSI) and C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI). The triglyceride glucose-Chinese visceral adiposity index (TyG-CVAI) achieved the highest area under the curve (AUC) for CMM prediction (0.679), and compared with the fully adjusted model (Model 4), all indices provided significant incremental predictive values.

conclusionNine TyG-related indices, particularly TyG-CVAI, are strong independent predictors of future CMM in patients with CKM syndrome stage 0-3. These findings underscore the utility of TyG-related indices, particularly TyG-CVAI, in identifying high-risk individuals, thereby informing strategies for the early detection and prevention of CKM syndrome.
