Joint association of TyG-ABSI composite index and inflammatory score with diabetes in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: a prospective cohort study from CHARLS (2011-2020).
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus represents a major global public health challenge, especially in middle-aged and older populations. The triglyceride-glucose A Body Shape Index (TyG-ABSI) composite index and inflammatory score are potential predictors of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, their independent and joint associations with incident T2DM in middle-aged and older Chinese adults remain unclear.
methodsData were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2011-2020), including 6,216 participants without diabetes at baseline. The TyG-ABSI index and inflammatory score (constructed from high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and white blood cell counts) were calculated. Multivariate Cox regression models, restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate their associations with incident T2DM.
resultsHigher TyG-ABSI and higher inflammatory score were independently associated with an increased T2DM risk (fully adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17-1.72 and 1.21, 95% CI: 1.02-1.44, respectively). Participants with concurrent high TyG-ABSI and high inflammatory score had a 69% higher T2DM risk (HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.30-2.21) than the reference group. Restricted cubic spline analyses showed approximately linear dose-response relationships. The combined index demonstrated superior discriminative ability (Harrell's C-index) and significantly improved risk reclassification (NRI) and overall discrimination (IDI) compared with traditional risk factors alone.
conclusionTyG-ABSI composite index and inflammatory score were independently and jointly associated with incident T2DM in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. This combined application can improve T2DM risk stratification and facilitate early prevention. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
