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

Purpose: Research suggests that insulin resistance (IR) is associated with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and depression. The use of insulin-based IR assessments is complicated. Therefore, we explored the relationship between four non-insulin-based IR indices and post-stroke depression (PSD). Patients and Methods: A total of 638 consecutive AIS patients were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Clinical data were collected to compute indices such as the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), insulin resistance metabolic score (METS-IR), and triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C). One month post-stroke, neuropsychological assessments were conducted using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between the four non-insulin-based IR indices and PSD. Results: Ultimately, 381 patients completed the 1-month follow-up, including 112 (29.4%) with PSD. The PSD group exhibited significantly higher levels of the four IR indices compared to the non-PSD group. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that these indicators were independently associated with PSD occurrence, both before and after adjusting for potential confounders (all P < 0.001). Tertile analyses indicated that the highest tertile group had a greater risk of PSD occurrence than the lowest tertile group for four IR indicators, even after adjusting for potential confounders (all P < 0.05). Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a linear dose-response relationship between the four IR indices and PSD. In the subgroup analysis, only the TyG index showed a significant interaction with diabetes (P for interaction = 0.014). The area under curve values for the TyG index, TyG-BMI, METS-IR, and TG/HDL-C were 0.700, 0.721, 0.711, and 0.690, respectively. Conclusion: High TyG index, TyG-BMI, METS-IR, and TG/HDL-C at baseline were independent risk factors for PSD in AIS. Each of these indicators exhibits predictive value for PSD occurrence, aiding in the early identification of high-risk groups.
