Association of Atherogenic Index of Plasma With Prediabetics-A Cross-Sectional Study.
Review in Endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPrediabetes, defined as elevated blood glucose levels below the diabetic threshold, is a worldwide concern. In Pakistan, it is highly prevalent. Preventing the progression of diabetes requires early identification of high-risk people. The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) has been proposed as an indicator of insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk. Our study content is to explore the relationship between AIP and metabolic indicators in patients with prediabetes. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital after IRB approval. A total of 334 prediabetic individuals aged 18-60 years, with no history of diabetes or use of lipid/glucose-altering medications, were included. Anthropometric, biochemical, and demographic information was gathered, including fasting glucose, HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin), and lipid profiles. Different AIP quartiles were assigned to the participants. ANOVA, Chi-square, and multivariate regression with confounder adjustment were used in the statistical study.
resultsSignificant differences were observed across AIP quartiles. Higher AIP was associated with male gender, older age, higher BMI, lower HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), and elevated triglycerides. Fasting glucose and insulin increased with AIP, while HbA1c showed no significant variation. In multivariate analysis, HDL and triglycerides remained the strongest independent predictors of AIP.
conclusionAIP is significantly linked with worsening metabolic indicators in prediabetics, highlighting its potential as a simple, cost-effective screening tool. Adding AIP into routine evaluations could help early identification and prevention of diabetes and associated cardiovascular disease.
