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

backgroundTriglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance. Elevated TyG index was related to stroke recurrence. This study aimed to explore the associations between TyG index with ischemic stroke recurrence in nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion.

methodsFrom November 1, 2016 to February 28, 2021, consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients admitted within 1 week after onset were screened. The stroke mechanism was determined based on medical history, laboratory examinations, cardiac examinations, vascular examinations and neuroimaging. Nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion were enrolled and followed up for 1 year. The primary outcome was ischemic stroke recurrence. Logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival curve were used to analyze the association of the TyG index and stroke recurrence.

resultsA total of 6100 acute ischemic stroke patients were screened, with 1970 nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion included and divided into 4 groups according to the TyG index quartiles (Q1: < 8.20; Q2: 8.20-8.53; Q3: 8.54-8.92; Q4: > 8.92). There were significant differences in age, body mass index, systolic blood pression, diastolic blood pressure, lipid-lowering agents, infarct location, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, uric acid, and stroke recurrence among the 4 groups. In the multi-adjusted models, compared to Q1 of the TyG index, the odds ratio for Q4 of the TyG index for stroke recurrence was 3.100 (1.366-8.019). The Kaplan-Meier survival (ischemic stroke-free) curves by quartiles of the TyG index also showed statistically significant differences (log-rank test, P = 0.004).

conclusionsOur findings suggested that the TyG index was associated with ischemic stroke recurrence in nondiabetic patients with small vessel occlusion, and it could be a valuable biomarker for assessing the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence in these patients.
