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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the importance of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio in predicting the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in elderly postmenopausal women. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted from March 2018 to February 2019. A total of 749 natural menopausal elderly women aged ≥60 years who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology, First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China and underwent coronary angiography for the first time were divided into CHD group (527 patients) and non-CHD group (222 patients). The clinical data parameters used in this analysis were chosen based on literature support and clinical findings related to CHD in elderly postmenopausal women. The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the predictive value of the TyG index and TG/HDL-C was analyzed by m ultivariable logistic regression analysis and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that hemoglobin (Hb), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), TyG index, TG/HDL-C, daily sleep duration and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were independent influencing factors of CHD in elderly postmenopausal women ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio are significantly associated with CHD risk in elderly postmenopausal women, as evidenced by their acceptable predictive performance (AUC: 0.740-0.771) and independent statistical significance (
