Association of triglyceride‑glucose index in branch retinal vein occlusion.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundTo investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and newly diagnosed branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in patients.
methodsThe study included 57 individuals with BRVO and a control group comprising 50 healthy volunteers matched for age and gender. Detailed eye examinations were conducted, and various blood biochemistry and hematological parameters were recorded. The TyG index was calculated using fasting plasma glucose and triglyceride values.
resultsThe mean age was 61.4 ± 9.6 years for the BRVO group and 60.6 ± 10.3 years for the control group. The TyG values were significantly higher in the BRVO group when compared to the control group (8.84 ± 0.41 vs. 8.52 ± 0.29, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the TyG index independently predicted BRVO (odds ratio = 2.58, 95% confidence interval = 1.69-3.93; p < 0.001). In receiver operating characteristics analysis, the TyG index had an area under the curve of 0.749, and a TyG index higher than 8.52 predicted BRVO with 83% sensitivity and 70% specificity.
conclusionsThis study establishes a significant association between an elevated TyG index and BRVO. Consequently, the TyG index could serve as a valuable predictive tool for identifying individuals at risk for BRVO.
