Association of the triglyceride glucose index with myocardial ischemia in patients with minimal to moderate coronary artery disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been suggested as a reliable substitute to indicate insulin resistance. Several studies have identified the association between the TyG index and cardiovascular disease. However, the association between the TyG index and the incidence of myocardial ischemia in patients with minimal to moderate coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been clearly assessed. We aimed to investigate the association between the TyG index and the incidence of myocardial ischemia in patients with minimal to moderate CAD. A total of 1,697 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) examinations and had minimal to moderate CAD were retrospectively included in the study. The TyG index and computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) were used to assess insulin resistance (IR) and myocardial ischemia, respectively. Myocardial ischemia was defined as a CT-FFR value ≤ 0.80. Logistic regression models were used to explore the associations between the TyG index and myocardial ischemia. The incidence of myocardial ischemia was higher in the highest TyG index tertile (T3) group than in the lowest TyG index tertile (T1) group. After adjusting for other variables, the T3 group remained associated with a higher risk of myocardial ischemia than the T1 group did (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.01-2.04; p = 0.047). A 1- standard deviation (SD) increase in the TyG index was correlated with a 19-24% elevated risk of myocardial ischemia when regarding the TyG index was considered as a continuous variable. Subgroup analysis revealed similar effects. A TyG index is associated with a higher risk of myocardial ischemia detected by CT-FFR in patients with minimal to moderate CAD.
