Comparison of Triglyceride-Glucose Index between Patients with Gallstone and Healthy Individuals.
Article in Iranian journal of public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Triglyceride-glucose index is a product of triglycerides and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and is a new index of insulin resistance found to correlate with direct measurements. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between gallstones and triglyceride-glucose index (TGI). Methods: A total of 210 patients were included in this retrospective study. Overall, 105 patients with gallstones were included in the patient group. Patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic diseases, malignant diseases, and patients using cholesterol-lowering drugs were excluded from the study. Healthy individuals (105 cases) were selected for the control group. TGI was calculated separately for each individual using the following formula: (TGI) = ln (fasting TG (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2). Results: Plasma triglyceride levels were significantly higher in patients with gallstones compared to the control group ( Conclusion: Increased triglyceride/glucose index in patients with gallstones is an indicator of insulin resistance. It is instrumental in demonstrating the presence of insulin resistance in patients with gallstones and may be a useful guide in earlier detection, prevention, and treatment of insulin resistance.
