Triglyceride-Glucose Index as a Novel Biomarker in the Occurrence of Kidney Stones: A Cross-Sectional Population-Based Study.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTriglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been considered as the reliable marker of insulin resistance (IR), which is one risk factor of kidney stone. This study aimed to evaluate the TyG index in the occurrence of kidney stones among the United States (US) population.
methodsParticipants who received assessment were retrieved from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2007 and 2018. The logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between the TyG index and kidney stones occurrence. A 1:1 matched-pair analysis was established to optimize the bias in kidney stones by propensity score matching (PSM). The dose-response curve was performed to verify the association between the TyG index and risk of kidney stones.
resultsOf the 14,158 eligible enrolled participants, 1346 (9.5%) self-reported a history of kidney stones. All participants were divided into two groups (high TyG index group and low TyG index group) based on the median TyG index. The dose-response curve exhibited a positive non-linear correlation between the TyG index and kidney stones risk. High TyG index was related to increased kidney stones occurrence in participants, with adjusted odds ratios (AOR) of 1.14 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.01-1.30,
conclusionThe TyG index was independently associated with kidney stones and would be a novel biomarker in predicting occurrence for clinical decision.
