Relationship between triglyceride and glucose related indexes and MAFLD in rural populations of northwest China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Research has shown inconsistent links between triglyceride and glucose related indexes (TyG-related indexes) and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) across various groups and areas. Our research focuses on exploring these connections to improve early identification and prevention of MAFLD among rural residents in Xinjiang, China. A total of 10,703 rural residents were included in this cohort study. Cox regression modeling, receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), restricted cubic spline (RCS) scores, subgroup analyses, and sensitivity analyses were used to conduct the study. Over a 5.7-year follow-up, 5.6% of participants developed MAFLD. Higher TyG-related indexes were linked to increased MAFLD risk after adjusting for confounders (P < 0.05). TyG-WHtR increased significantly in both sexes. The top quartile of TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR had higher MAFLD risk compared to the bottom quartile, with TyG-BMI being the strongest predictor, particularly in unmarried individuals aged 18-30. Nonlinear relationships were observed for most TyG-related indexes and MAFLD risk, except for male TyG. ROC analysis confirmed the diagnostic value of TyG-related indexes for predicting MAFLD. TyG-related indexes were independently associated with MAFLD, with a stronger association observed in females. Furthermore, TyG-related indexes demonstrated predictive value for MAFLD, with TyG-BMI exhibiting the most robust predictive performance, particularly among unmarried individuals aged 18-30.
