TyG-BMI and hypertension in Normoglycemia subjects in Japan: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Diabetes & vascular disease research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
backgroundInsulin Resistance (IR) are associated with Hypertension (HTN). Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is a readily available and clinically significant indicator of IR. This study aimed to investigate whether TyG-BMI is independently associated with HTN.
methodsA total of 15,464 patients with normal blood glucose from 2004 to 2016 participated in this study. Participants were divided into four groups using the quartile method: TyG-BMI below 153.1, between 153.1 and 174.2, between 174.2 and 199.3, and over 199.3. The covariates included age, sex, BMI, WC, HDL-C, TC, TG, HbA1c, FPG, ALT, AST, GGT, SBP, DBP, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and exercise habits.
resultsThe average age was 43.7 ± 8.9 years, and 45.4% were men. The prevalence of HTN was 6.2% (964/15464) of the population. TyG-BMI remained significantly associated with HTN after multivariate adjustment for TyG-BMI as a continuous variable (adjusted OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.90-4.34). Each 10-unit rise in TyG-BMI (continuous variable) was linked to a 31% increase in the prevalence of HTN (adjusted OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.25-1.37). In the subgroup analysis stratified by age, sex, waist circumference, and smoking status, the association between TyG-BMI and HTN were stable.
conclusionIn this study, TyG-BMI was highly correlated with HTN, but more experiments and different populations are needed to verify this.
