Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Short-Term Functional Prognosis in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundStroke is the most significant cause of death and disability around the world. It is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. Currently, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has proven to be a reliable surrogate indicator of IR in stroke studies. However, the relationship between TyG and poor functional outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke remains unclear. Accordingly, this study aimed to explore the relationship between TyG index and clinical outcomes at 3 months after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
methodsThe clinical data of 564 AIS patients admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2020 to September 2024 were collected. According to the mRS score at 3 months after onset, the patients were divided into a poor functional prognosis group and a good functional prognosis group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the correlation between the TyG index at admission and the 3-month functional prognosis of AIS patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the TyG index and the TyG index combined with the admission NIHSS score (TyG-NIHSS) for the 3-month functional prognosis of AIS patients.
resultsA total of 564 AIS patients were included, with 165 cases (29.25%) in the poor functional prognosis group and 399 cases (70.75%) in the good functional prognosis group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure at admission, NIHSS score, and TyG index were independent risk factors for poor functional prognosis at 3 months in AIS patients (p < 0.05). The higher the TyG index, the higher the risk of poor functional prognosis at 3 months (OR = 3.18, 95% CI: 2.252-4.499, p < 0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for the TyG index to predict poor functional prognosis at 3 months in AIS patients was 0.650 (95% CI: 0.598-0.702, p < 0.001), with a sensitivity of 61.2% and a specificity of 62.7%. The AUC for TyG-NIHSS to predict poor functional prognosis at 3 months in AIS patients was 0.836 (95% CI: 0.799-0.873, p < 0.001), with a sensitivity of 80.6% and a specificity of 76.7%.
conclusionThe TyG index is an independent but moderate predictor of poor outcomes at 3 months poststroke. However, TyG-NIHSS represents a highly discriminative multivariate model. This model demonstrates good predictive ability and high predictive accuracy.
