1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance and determine the optimal cutoff values of the triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and lipid accumulation product index as predictors of metabolic syndrome among adults with obesity in Indonesia. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed secondary data from the 2023 Indonesia Health Survey, which included 3,988 samples (2,958 women). Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample. Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis and the Youden index were employed to assess diagnostic performance and determine the optimal cutoff values of the triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and lipid accumulation product index. The associations between both predictors and the presence of metabolic syndrome were examined using multivariable logistic regression.

resultsThe lipid accumulation product index exhibited greater predictive accuracy than the triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, particularly among men. This result indicated the superior utility of the lipid accumulation product index as a clinical screening tool for metabolic syndrome, with area under the curve values of 0.842 (95% CI 0.817-0.866) for men and 0.737 (95% CI 0.720-0.755) for women, compared to that of the triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, with area under the curve values of 0.810 (95% CI 0.784-0.837) for men and 0.728 (95% CI 0.710-0.746) for women. The optimal cutoff values of the triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and lipid accumulation product index were 4.456 (sensitivity 64.8%, specificity 81.4%) and 45.752 (sensitivity 75.5%, specificity 81.2%) for men and 2.792 (sensitivity 59.2%, specificity 76.8%) and 41.285 (sensitivity 58.6%, specificity 75.8%) for women, respectively.

conclusionThe lipid accumulation product index demonstrated superior accuracy in predicting metabolic syndrome among adults with obesity, particularly among men. Sex-specific cutoff values enhance its reliability and practicality for early screening and intervention to prevent metabolic complications.
