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
backgroundRemnant cholesterol (RC) represents a low-cost and readily measured lipid index that contributes significantly to residual cardiovascular disease risk. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index exhibits a significant correlation with cardiovascular disease occurrence. However, RC and the TyG index have rarely been examined for their potentials in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD). Accordingly, the study was designed to validate the correlations of these two biomarkers with CAD and to compare the forecasted values of these two biomarkers for newly diagnosed CAD.
methodsTotally 570 subjects firstly administered coronary angiography were enrolled, including 431 newly diagnosed CAD cases and 139 individuals without CAD. The individuals were classified into two groups according to CAD diagnosis. RC was derived as total cholesterol content (mmol/L) - (high density lipoprotein cholesterol content + low density lipoprotein cholesterol content; both in mmol/L). The TyG index was determined as ln (fasting triglyceride level [mg/dL] × fasting plasma glucose level [mg/dL])/2.
resultsBaseline feature analysis revealed significant differences in RC and the TyG index between the CAD and non-CAD groups (both P < 0.001). RC and the TyG index were independent risk factors for CAD in accordance with logistic regression analysis (both P < 0.05). Moreover, spearman correlation analysis elucidated CAD had a more remarkable correlation with the TyG index compared with RC (both P < 0.001). Furthermore, according to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the TyG index was better than RC in predicting CAD.
conclusionsThe TyG index and RC have significant associations with CAD. Compared with RC, the TyG index possesses a closer correlation with CAD and a higher predictive value for CAD.
