Triglyceride-glucose index as a marker for visceral obesity in patients with gastric cancer.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has emerged as a validated and cost-effective indicator of insulin resistance (IR). Given the significant association between visceral obesity and IR, this study aimed to investigate the utility of the TyG index in estimating visceral obesity in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Methods: The visceral fat area (VFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and VFA-to-SFA ratio (VSR) were determined through the analysis of CT images at the lumbar 3 level. The definition of visceral obesity was established as VFA ≥ 100 cm Results: The cross-sectional study enrolled a total of 314 patients with GC, among whom 159 (50.64%) were identified as having visceral obesity. The TyG index was positively correlated with VFA ( Conclusion: The TyG index exhibited a significant association with visceral obesity and proved to be a valuable predictor for visceral obesity when combined with BMI in patients with GC.
