The TyG Index and Obesity Indicators Predicting Low Muscle Mass in US Adults Without Diabetes: NHANES 2011-2018.

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: Insulin resistance and obesity are critical determinants of low muscle mass. The main goal was to determine whether the reduced muscle mass in people without diabetes is correlated with the insulin resistance index and obesity indicators. Method: The data from NHANES 2011 to 2018 were analyzed to explore how the TyG index and obesity indices relate to low muscle mass. Associations were conducted using weighted logistic regression, RCS analysis, sensitivity analyses, and subgroup evaluations. In addition, the prediction capability of these indices was evaluated using ROC curve analysis and the AUC. Result: The TyG index (OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.31-2.63, Conclusion: The risk of insufficient muscle mass is increased in nondiabetic adults with higher values of TyG-obesity indicators (TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR, and TyG-WWI). TyG-WHtR possessed the best discriminative ability than other indicators.
