Predictive Effect of Triglyceride-Glucose Index on Adverse Prognostic Events in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is regarded as an independent predictor of cardiovascular (CV) consequences and a reliable surrogate measure of insulin resistance (IR). However, the predictive significance of the TyG index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) remains unknown. Methods: This study included 1514 consecutive subjects with ICM and T2DM. The tertile of the TyG index values was used to categorize these patients into three groups. Major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCEs) were also noted. The TyG index was calculated using the [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2] equation. Results: After adjusting for age, BMI, and other potential confounders, the scores of multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models for chest pain [9.056 (4.370 to 18.767), p<0.001], acute myocardial infarction [4.437 (1.420 to 13.869), p=0.010], heart failure [7.334 (3.424 to 15.708), Conclusion: TyG index could be useful in predicting MACCEs and initiating preventive measures in subjects with ICM and T2DM.
