Comparison of eight insulin resistance surrogate indices in predicting incident stroke among middle-aged and older individuals without diabetes: a nationwide prospective cohort study.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2026. 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
backgroundAlthough insulin resistance (IR) surrogate indices have demonstrated associations with and predictive value for incident stroke, previous studies focused mainly on diabetic or general populations, with limited comprehensive comparisons in non-diabetic populations.
aimsTo systematically compare eight IR surrogate indices for predicting incident stroke in middle-aged and older individuals without diabetes.
methodsUsing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we analyzed 6,377 non-diabetic participants aged ≥ 45 years followed from 2011 to 2020. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were used to assess associations between IR surrogate indices and incident stroke. Harrell's C-index, time-dependent C-index, net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were used to evaluate and compare the predictive performance of different IR surrogate indices for incident stroke. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to verify robustness.
resultsOver 9 years of follow-up, 550 incident stroke events (8.6%) were recorded. All eight IR surrogate indices were significantly associated with incident stroke. Regarding predictive performance, the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) model significantly outperformed the base model and other IR surrogate index models across multiple evaluation dimensions, including overall C-index (0.660, 95% CI: 0.638-0.681), time-dependent C-index, NRI, and IDI. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the eGDR model's predictive advantages.
conclusionseGDR outperformed other IR surrogate indices in predicting incident stroke among middle-aged and older individuals without diabetes, suggesting potential utility for early stroke risk assessment.
