Relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index and the SYNTAX score 2 in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Article in Cardiovascular endocrinology & metabolism, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We evaluated if admissiontriglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) correlated with the anatomical synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score 2 in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), nondiabetic patients. Methods: SYNTAX score 2 (SSII) was retrospectively evaluated in 260 nondiabetic patients hospitalized with NSTEMI who underwent coronary angiography. The TyG index was calculated using the following equation: log [fasting triglycerides (mg/dl) × fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2]. We stratified patients according to tertiles of SSII (≤21.5, 21.5-30.6, and ≥30.6). These score ranges were defined as SSII low, SSII mid, and SSII high, respectively. Results: The average age of the patients was 57.2 ± 10.9 years; 135 patients (52.2%) were males. The average TyG index was 8.68 ± 0.12, and SSII was 18.9 ± 9.9. A moderate correlation was found between TyG index and SSII ( Conclusion: In nondiabetic patients with NSTEMI, TyG index correlated with the SSII.
