Prognostic value of the triglyceride-glucose index in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a retrospective study.

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: Bladder carcinoma is a type of urological tumor with high risks of recurrence and progression. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has demonstrated significant promise as a prognostic marker for metabolic health in different types of cancer. Further research is needed to explore the relationships among non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), the TyG index, and its prognostic importance. Purpose of this preliminary research is to assess the predictive significance of the TyG index for recurrence and progression risk in NMIBC patients. Methods: Data from patients admitted between October 2018 and July 2021 were reviewed, and there are 198 patients in total were included. The experimental data were supplied by medical records. In addition, patient prognoses were followed up via telephone. Furthermore, patients were separated into two groups: the high and low TyG groups, using X-tile software. Apart from recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS) was the main outcome. According to the TyG index, nomograms were also established. Results: The cohort consisted of 93 patients in the high TyG group and 105 patients in the low TyG group. The TyG index was a key prognostic factor for postoperative RFS (HR = 2.726, 95% CI = 1.474-5.041, Conclusion: The TyG index serves as an isolated predictor of both RFS and PFS among patients with NMIBC, revealing new insights into disease treatment mechanisms. Indeed, the TyG index serves as a credible indicator of risk classification while facilitating early intervention among patients with NMIBC.
