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: Whether elevated triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is linked to long-term prognosis in individuals with hypertension and obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) remains unclear. We applied a combination of a cohort study and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate this relationship. Methods: This study selected 1,024 individuals with essential hypertension and OCAD who were treated at The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (June 2023-April 2024). We evaluated the correlation between the TyG index and the 2-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) risk using logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS), subgroup analysis and interaction testing. Causal inference was conducted using MR. MACE was defined as a composite of: (1) all-cause death; (2) non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI); (3) unplanned revascularization; and (4) rehospitalization for unstable angina. Results: After a 2-year follow-up, 202 patients (19.73%) experienced MACE. After multivariable adjustment, each one-unit increment in the TyG index was independently linked with a 45.2% increased risk of MACE (odds ratio: 1.452, 95% confidence intervals 1.101-1.913; Conclusions: Elevated TyG index levels were strongly linked to worse clinical outcomes in individuals with hypertension and OCAD. MR suggested a potential causal relationship between them.
