Nonlinear relationship between triglycerides and cognitive function after acute ischemic stroke among older adults.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: Although studies have explored the association between triglyceride levels and cognitive function after acute ischemic stroke (AIS), the results have been conflicting. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between triglyceride levels and cognitive function after AIS among older adults. Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study. From November 2022 to June 2023, we consecutively collected patients diagnosed with AIS in China. Triglyceride levels were measured within 24 h of admission. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess cognitive function. Nonlinear associations between triglyceride levels and cognitive function were assessed using smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analysis. Results: In this study, a total of 221 patients (mean ± SD: 70.64 ± 7.43 years) with AIS were consecutively recruited, among whom 144 (65.16%) were male. Among the 221 recruited patients, 102 (46.15%) had cognitive impairment. Triglyceride levels and cognitive impairment were found to have a nonlinear association after controlling for potential confounders, with an inflection point at 0.8 mmol/L. Below the inflection point, triglyceride levels were positively correlated with MMSE scores (β = 14.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.33-25.89, P = 0.020). However, above the inflection point, the correlation between MMSE score and triglyceride levels was not statistically significant (β = 1.04, 95% CI = -1.27 - 3.34, P = 0.380). Conclusion: There is a nonlinear association between triglyceride levels and cognitive function after AIS in older adults. Triglyceride was positively connected with cognitive function when it was less than 0.8 mmol/L.
