Association between AIP and incident T2DM in patients with NAFLD: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. METHODS AND
resultsIn this retrospective study, 2,370 NAFLD patients were stratified into tertiles based on AIP levels. Baseline demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical characteristics were compared across tertiles. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to assess the association between AIP and incident T2DM, adjusting for potential confounders, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), smoking status, high blood pressure (HBP), and liver enzymes. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) evaluated dose-response relationships, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves compared the predictive performance of AIP against individual parameters. In the fully adjusted model (Model 3), the highest tertile (Q3) demonstrated a 1.99-fold increased T2DM risk (OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.29-3.08, P = 0.002) versus Q1. A linear dose-response relationship was observed (P for non-linearity = 0.663), with each 1-unit AiP increase corresponding to a 2.76-fold higher T2DM risk (OR = 2.76, 95% CI: 1.54-4.93, P < 0.001). AIP demonstrated superior predictive performance for incident T2DM compared to traditional markers, as evidenced by higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values. The relationship between AIP and incident T2DM remained consistent across various population subgroups (all interaction P-values>0.05).
conclusionsElevated AIP is independently associated with an increased risk of incident T2DM in NAFLD patients, highlighting its potential as a predictive biomarker for diabetes in this high-risk population.
