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

Objective: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as among the most common lymphomas is associated with insulin resistance (IR). The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, generally considered a surrogate marker for IR, has an uncertain prognostic value in DLBCL. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of DLBCL patients who received R-CHOP therapy at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2011 to December 2023. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). Boruta algorithm was employed to strengthen the robustness of our analysis. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was used to explore the potential nonlinear relationship between the TyG index and OS. Subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the prognostic value of the TyG index across different patient subgroups. Finally, a nomogram model based on the TyG index was developed, and its predictive performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A total of 186 DLBCL patients were included in this study. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses identified the TyG index, Age, ECOG performance status, Ann Arbor stage, and lactate dehydrogenase levels as independent prognostic factors for DLBCL. The Boruta algorithm confirmed these variables as the most important prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed significantly poorer OS in the high TyG index group. RCS analysis demonstrated a non-linear relationship between the TyG index and OS. Subgroup analyses further validated the TyG index as a significant prognostic factor across various patient subgroups. The TyG-based nomogram model outperformed the conventional International Prognostic Index (IPI), with AUROCs of 0.878, 0.809, and 0.867 for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS, respectively. Calibration curves showed good agreement between the nomogram predictions and actual outcomes, and DCA highlighted the high clinical utility of the model. Conclusion: The TyG index is an independent prognostic factor in DLBCL patients, and the TyG-based nomogram model provides enhanced predictive accuracy compared to the IPI. Its simplicity and low cost make it a valuable tool for routine clinical prognostic assessment in DLBCL patients.
