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

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index mediates the association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and to evaluate their combined association with multi-vessel CAD. Methods: In this retrospective study, anonymized data from CAD patients undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) or coronary angiography (CAG) between 2019 and 2022 were analyzed Results: A total of 592 patients (64.7% male; mean age, 62 years) were included in the analysis. The TyG index was positively correlated with RC ( Conclusions: The TyG index is positively correlated with RC and is significantly associated with CAD severity. Furthermore, the TyG index partially mediates the association between RC and CAD severity. Combined assessment of the TyG index and RC may improve metabolic risk stratification in patients with CAD.
