Triglyceride-glucose index and triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio in predicting severity of acute pancreatitis: a cross-sectional clinical study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. 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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio with acute pancreatitis (AP), and to compare the predictive value of the two indexes for severe AP (SAP).
methodsThis study was a clinical cross-sectional study. Spearman's correlation, logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio with SAP.
resultsOf the 311 enrolled AP patients, the mean age was 62.59 ± 9.03 years, and 131 (42.12%) were male. A total of 34 (10.93%) patients met the diagnostic criteria for SAP. The results of Spearman's correlation showed that TyG index (Spearman rho = 0.262; p < 0.001), TG/HDL-C ratio (Spearman rho = 0.206; p < 0.001) were associated with SAP. Logistic regression analysis showed that TyG index was independently and positively correlated with SAP [odds ratio (OR), 4.311; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.222-15.208; p = 0.023]. However, this association was not further confirmed on TG/HDL-C ratio (OR, 2.530; 95% CI, 0.883-7.251; p = 0.084). According to the ROC curve analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) for TyG index was 0.712 (p < 0.001), and the AUC for TG/HDL-C ratio was 0.691 (p < 0.001).
conclusionsTyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio have different diagnostic values in AP patients. And the TyG index may be a more useful auxiliary tool for predicting SAP.
