Association between the triglyceride glucose index and heart failure: NHANES 2007-2018.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 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
Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) were compared with non-HF people to explore the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and HF in participants with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Methods: TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between the TyG index and the risk of HF. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was applied to evaluate the dose-response relationship between the TyG index and the risk of HF. Results: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) was used to analyze the association between TyG and HF in patients. A total of 13,825 participants who had their TyG index measured were included, involving 435 individuals with HF and 13,390 individuals without HF. Those with HF had higher levels of the TyG index compared with those without HF (8.91 ± 0.74 vs. 8.57 ± 0.66, Conclusion: The TyG index was positively associated with the risk of HF. The TyG index may be a therapeutic target and an important predictor of HF.
