A higher TyG index is related with a higher prevalence of erectile dysfunction in males between the ages 20-70 in the United States, according to a cross-sectional research.

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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and erectile dysfunction (ED) among United States (US) adult males. Methods: A logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and the computation of the dose-response curve were used to investigate the relationship between TyG index and ED prevalence among participants from the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Results: After adjusting for all confounders, each unit increase in TyR index was associated with a 25 percent increase in ED prevalence (OR=1.25, 95%CI:1.03, 1.52), and stratified analysis showed that elevated TyG index was associated with increased ED prevalence in the 50-year old group (OR=1.35, 95% CI:1.05, 1.74), the Mexican-American group (OR=1.50, 95% CI:1.00, 2.23) and BMI 25-29.9 kg/m Conclusion: It has been shown that a higher TyG index is associated with a higher prevalence of erectile dysfunction. Although the causal relationship is not clear, it still deserves clinical attention.
