Association between socioeconomic status and the triglyceride glucose index: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES 2007-2016.

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
backgroundThe triglyceride glucose index (TyG index) is a crucial marker for assessing the risk of chronic diseases, while socioeconomic status (SES), measured by poverty income ratio (PIR) and education level, reflects an individual's social standing. Past studies have linked SES to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, but research on its association with the TyG index is limited. This study aimed to explore the association between SES and the TyG index and assess the mediating role of BMI.
methodsThe cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2016 cycles to explore the relationship between SES and the TyG index in the adult of the USA. Multivariate logistic regression, stratified and interaction analyses were conducted to assess the association between SES and the TyG index. Additionally, parallel mediator analysis estimated the mediated effect of BMI between SES and the TyG index.
resultsAmong the 11,358 individuals studied, averaging 49 years of age and with 48.3% males, fully adjusted models revealed negative associations between PIR and education level with the TyG index, while BMI showed a positive correlation. Stratified and interaction analysis indicated consistent findings across subgroups. Mediation analysis revealed that BMI mediated 14.4% and 8.57% of the effects of PIR/Education level on the TyG index, respectively.
conclusionsSES was negatively associated with the TyG index. Additionally, BMI partially mediate the association between SES and the TyG index. These findings deepen the comprehension of the association between SES and the TyG index.
