Association Between the Preoperative Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication of cardiac surgery, particularly in patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD), who are at higher risk due to their compromised renal function. This study investigated the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, and postoperative AKI in CKD patients undergoing cardiac surgery to enhance risk stratification and perioperative management. Methods: This retrospective study included 542 patients with impaired renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 15-60 mL/min/1.73 m Results: Among the 542 patients, 55.7% developed AKI, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 7.6%. In the multivariate regression analysis, the odds ratio for AKI with each unit increase in LnTyG was 0.43 (95% CI 0.02-8.70, Conclusion: The TyG index is not significantly associated with AKI or prognosis after cardiac surgery in patients with kidney dysfunction. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of AKI.
