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

The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) has emerged as a unique indicator of insulin resistance (IR). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the TyG-BMI and arterial stiffness among 18,312 participants from Hebei General Hospital in China. The TyG-BMI was calculated based on serum triglycerides, fasting plasma glucose, and BMI, while arterial stiffness was estimated using the estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) derived from age and mean blood pressure. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that ePWV levels were significantly higher in the two highest TyG-BMI quartiles (Q3 and Q4) compared with the lowest quartile (Q1). Subgroup analysis demonstrated a consistent positive link between the TyG-BMI index and arterial stiffness (all P-interaction >0.05). Furthermore, ROC curve analysis and non-linear testing indicated that the risk of arterial stiffness remained relatively stable until the TyG-BMI reached approximately 175, after which it rose sharply (P for non-linearity <0.001). These findings suggest that the TyG-BMI index is independently and positively associated with arterial stiffness, serving as a reliable and cost-effective surrogate marker for identifying individuals at high risk in clinical settings.
