1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The triglyceride/glucose index (TyG) reflects insulin resistance and predicts the risk of acute ischemic stroke (aIS). However, it is uncertain if this index predicts the severity and outcome of aIS because studies that addressed this question are few and all were performed in Asian subjects. Moreover, there are no studies that focused on patients with hypercholesterolemia. Methods: We studied 997 Caucasian patients who were hospitalized for aIS and had hypercholesterolemia. aIS severity was assessed at admission with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and severe aIS was defined as NIHSS Results: The TyG index did not correlate with the NIHSS at admission (r = 0.032, Conclusions: The TyG index does not appear to be associated with the severity or the outcome of aIS. Nevertheless, since there are few relevant data in Caucasians and the TyG index is an inexpensive and widely available biomarker, more studies in this ethnic group are required to determine the predictive role of this index in patients with aIS.
