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

objectiveTo investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a large population-based cohort.

methodsParticipants aged 40-79 years without a history of CVD at baseline were drawn from the CHinese Electronic health Records Research in Yinzhou (CHERRY) study between January 1, 2010, and May 31, 2020. The TyG index was calculated using baseline triglyceride and fasting blood glucose. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between the TyG index and the composite outcome of CVD (incidence and mortality), adjusting for age, gender, education, region, smoking status, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol. Hazard ratios (

resultsA total of 226 406 individuals were included, with a mean age of (55.0±9.7) years at baseline, 46.8% of whom were men, and a median TyG index of 8.68. Over a median follow-up of 7.99 years, 9 815 (4.34%) participants experienced CVD incidence or mortality. After adjusting for age, gender, education, region, smoking status, body mass index, systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol, the risk of CVD increased with higher TyG index levels (

conclusionA significant nonlinear relationship was revealed between the TyG index and CVD risk, with a threshold effect. The risk of CVD increased once the TyG index surpassed a certain threshold, with a lower threshold in women than in men. These findings suggest that cardiovascular risk prediction and interventions based on the TyG index should be gender-stratified, and early intervention for individuals under 60 years old might have important public health implications.
