The association of triglyceride glucose waist-to-height ratio index with depression in United States adults.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride glucose waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) and depression. Methods: Data were used from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) that was conducted between 2005 and 2018, which included 15,630 eligible people. Based on a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) score of more than 10, the participants were each assigned to one of the two groups: a group of depressed individuals ( Results: An independent and substantial positive correlation between TyG-WHtR and depression was found by multifactorial logistic regression of the data. In the fully corrected model, TyG-WHtR levels were associated with a higher prevalence of depression (OR = 1.19, 95%:1.09-1.29). Analysis of TyG-WHtR quartiles showed a significant trend in Q4 compared to Q1 (trend Conclusion: Depressive symptoms are significantly associated with TyG-WHtR, which is a strong positive correlation. This index may provide useful insights into the diagnosis and treatment of depression as related research continues to advance.
