Comparison of TyG and Newly TyG Related Indicators for Chronic Kidney Diseases Estimation in a Chinese Population.

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: Obesity and insulin resistance (IR) are positively associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previous studies have identified triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) as a valuable surrogate of insulin resistance. Recently, new indicators combining TyG and simple anthropometric indices have emerged, The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of TyG and newly TyG related indicators in detecting CKD and explore which indices were superior in associating with CKD in Chinese population. Methods: Correlation test, logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to evaluate the optimal cut-off and value of TyG, TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI), TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), TyG-waist to height ratio (TyG-WHtR) for predicting CKD. Results: TyG-WHtR, TyG-WC, and TyG-BMI correlated with several risk factors for CKD. After adjusting for confounders, TyG-WHtR and TyG-WC remained significantly associated with CKD, while TyG-BMI did not. The highest quartiles of TyG-WHtR and TyG-WC had 1.95- and 1.91-fold increased risk of CKD than the lowest quartiles (P<0.05). TyG-WHtR had the largest AUC (0.687) for CKD detection, followed by TyG-WC (0.669), TyG (0.652), and TyG-BMI (0.648). A united model that involved TyG-WHtR and other risk variables had higher predictive performance (AUC=0.791) than a single TyG related indicator. However, TyG had the highest OR (2.713, 95% CI, 1.446-5.090) for reduced eGFR in the fully adjusted model. A united model that involved TyG and WHtR separately had stronger predictive ability (AUC: 0.794) than the model that involved TyG-WHtR individually (AUC:0.791). Conclusion: This study found that TyG-WHtR had a better diagnostic value in the diagnosis of CKD, compared to other TyG related indicators, but none of the TyG related indicators showed a stronger association with CKD than TyG. Further research and more refined algorithms are needed to verify these new indicators.
