Association Between Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Gout in Young Adults in China.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Objective: Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis with a rising prevalence among young adults in China, imposing a substantial burden on patients and society. This study aims to examine the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the presence of gout among young Chinese adults. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, age- and sex-matched (1:4) case-control study at Meizhou People's Hospital (2019-2023). Continuous variables were summarized as mean ± SD or median (IQR) and compared with Student's Results: The study included 447 gout patients and 1788 controls (average age 34.5 ± 6.9 years). Median TyG was higher in the gout group than in controls (4.86 [0.44] vs 4.63 [0.40]; Conclusion: In this cross-sectional study of young Chinese adults, higher TyG was independently associated with the presence of gout and showed acceptable discrimination. As a routinely available metric, TyG may aid risk stratification and case-finding; prospective studies are needed to define actionable thresholds and clarify temporality.
