Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Risk of End-Stage Kidney Disease in Young Adults: National Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in JMIR public health and surveillance, 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
Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple marker of insulin resistance, is associated with chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, its association with ESKD in young adults remains unexplored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether the TyG index increases the risk of ESKD in the young adult population. Methods: This nationwide retrospective, population-based cohort study analyzed data from 6,555,863 individuals aged 20-39 years between January 2009 and December 2012 using the Korean National Health Insurance Database. Participants were categorized into quartiles and deciles based on the TyG index. The cumulative incidence and adjusted hazard ratios for ESKD were assessed. Results: Over a median follow-up period of 10.61 years, 4910 (0.75%) participants developed ESKD. The incidence of ESKD increased with a higher TyG index in quartiles and deciles. The adjusted hazard ratio for ESKD in the highest quartile was 3.438 (95% CI 3.096-3.818) compared to the lowest quartile, and that in the highest decile was 5.944 (95% CI 5.022-7.035) compared to the lowest decile. These associations remained consistent across subgroup analyses by age, sex, obesity, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease. Conclusions: The TyG index is significantly associated with ESKD risk in young adults.
