The C-Reactive Protein-Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Functional Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Following Endovascular Thrombectomy.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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 and purposeThe C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI), capturing insulin resistance (IR) and systemic inflammation, is related to stroke prognosis in general, but has not yet been studied with respect to functional outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).
methodsA retrospective analysis was carried out on individuals with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) experiencing EVT (September 2018-December 2024). CTI is measured as: 0.412 × Ln (C-reactive protein) (mg/L) + Ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)]/2. The endpoint was unfavorable functional outcomes, characterized by a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3-6 at 90-day follow-up. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) and logistic regression (LR) analysis were utilized to estimate the link between the CTI and clinical outcomes.
resultsAmong 813 patients, a high CTI level was significantly correlated with unfavorable functional outcome (p < 0.05). Compared with patients in the lowest quartile (Q1) of CTI, those in the highest CTI quartile (Q4) demonstrated an increased likelihood of unfavorable outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] of 2.04, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 1.17-3.54). RCS modeling, after adjustment for significant variables identified in the univariate analysis, confirmed that there was no nonlinear connection between CTI levels and the probability of unfavorable functional recovery. Stratified analysis indicated that these associations were more significant among elderly and non-smoking patients.
conclusionThe CTI is an independent indicator of functional outcomes in individuals with AIS undergoing EVT, underlining its potential clinical value as a readily accessible marker for risk stratification and individualized prognostic assessment.
