Association between triglyceride-glucose index and AKI in ICU patients based on MIMICIV database: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Renal failure, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundMethods for early prediction of the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) were limited. The relationship between triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and the incidence of acute kidney injury in ICU patients is unclear. This study aims to explore the relationship between the two.
methodsBased on their TyG index, participants from the Intensive Care Medical Information Market IV (MIMIC-IV) were divided into quartiles. A logistic regression model was constructed based on the risk of acute kidney injury as the main outcome, in order to detect a potential relationship that may exist between the TyG index and acute kidney injury in ICU patients. Finally, in order to confirm the relationship existing between the TyG index and the results, a restricted cubic spline model was used.
resultsIn total, 54,263 patients were involved in our present study, of whom 48.2% were male. The occurrence of acute kidney injury was 25.1%. An independent relationship was observed between the TyG index and an increased risk of acute kidney injury through multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR, 1.28 [95% CI 1.22-1.35]
conclusionThe triglyceride glucose index is related to the risk of acute kidney injury in ICU patients. In the future, in order to further validate this finding, larger prospective studies are needed.
