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

Background: Diabetes mellitus is strongly associated with insulin resistance and visceral adiposity. Recent studies have demonstrated that the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), which reflect insulin resistance and visceral adiposity, are linked to elevated odds of diabetes. However, the combined use of TyG and CVAI for identifying diabetes remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the relationship among TyG, CVAI, and their joint association with prevalent diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 11,495 participants from the 2023 Shenzhen Chronic Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance Survey. A structured questionnaire survey, physical examinations, and fasting blood sample collection were conducted for all participants. Logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was employed to assess potential nonlinear relationships (all Results: The study identified 831 participants with diabetes. After adjusting for confounders, TyG (OR: 4.48, 95% CI: 3.66-5.52) and CVAI (OR: 6.02, 95% CI: 3.69-10.05) were independently associated with the odds of diabetes. Nonlinear relationships were observed for both TyG and CVAI (all Conclusion: Elevated TyG and CVAI levels, as well as their combined use, were significantly associated with increased odds of diabetes. These findings suggest that TyG, CVAI, and their combination may serve as simple and effective tools for diabetes risk stratification, enabling targeted prevention and management strategies for high-risk populations.
