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: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is more common in those with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Although the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and its composite indices are straightforward indicators of insulin resistance, it is yet unknown how they relate to the risk of CVD in the MASLD population. Objectives: To explore the correlation of TyG and TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) with cardiovascular disease risk in the MASLD population. Design: This was a population-based cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2023. Methods: Adults with MASLD were included using cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). ROC curve assessments, subgroup analyses, smooth curve fitting, and multivariate logistic regression were carried out. Results: Among 1,860 participants, TyG (OR=1.27) and TyG-WHtR (OR=1.20) were independently associated with elevated CVD risk after full covariate adjustment (all Conclusion: TyG and TyG-WHtR showed positive associations with CVD in patients with MASLD, with a remarkable threshold effect observed for TyG. Both indices are simple auxiliary markers to screen high-risk subgroups during population epidemiological surveys.
