Association between triglyceride-glucose index and cataract among outpatient US adults.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Although numerous studies have associated a higher TyG index with various diseases, there is limited research on its potential link to cataract. This study seeks to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and cataract in the outpatient adult population in the United States. Methods: Our study used NHANES data from the 1999-2008 cycles. We applied weighted multivariate logistic regression to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and cataract in the United States and conducted subgroup analysis to assess the robustness of these associations across different populations. Results: Among 5,433 adults [2,699 (46.8%) male; 2,734 (53.2%) female], 1,038 (15.4%) had cataract. A fully adjusted model (i.e., model 2) showed that the highest quartile array of TyG index (Quartile IV) was positively associated with a higher risk of cataract among men (OR = 1.63 (1.10-2.43), Conclusion: Our research reveals that the highest quartile array of TyG index (Quartile IV) is associated with a higher risk of cataract among men. This suggests that elevated levels of this index may contribute to the likelihood of developing cataracts, emphasizing the need to consider this metabolic parameter when assessing eye health in male participants.
