Abstract

Background

Insulin resistance (IR) can lead to cellular metabolic disorders, activation of oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction, contributing to in-stent restenosis (ISR). The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), a new indicator reflecting IR, is extensively researched in the cardiovascular field. This study, through a meta-analysis, aimed to utilize a larger combined sample size and thereby enhance the overall test efficacy to explore the TyG index-ISR relationship.

Methods

A thorough search was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases to find original papers and their references published between 1990 and January 2024. This search included both prospective and retrospective studies detailing the correlation between the TyG index and ISR in individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD).

Outcomes

The five included articles comprised 3,912 participants, and the odds ratio (OR) extracted from each study was combined using the Inverse Variance method. Results showed that, in the context of CHD patients, each incremental unit in the TyG index, when treated as a continuous variable, corresponded to a 42% elevation in ISR risk (95% CI 1.26–1.59, I²=13%, p < 0.005). When analyzing the TyG index categorically, the results revealed a higher ISR risk in the highest TyG index group compared to the lowest group (OR: 1.69, 95% CI 1.32–2.17, I²=0). Additionally, in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), each unit increase in the TyG index, the risk of ISR in patients increased by 37% (95% CI 1.19–1.57, I²=0%, p < 0.005). This correlation was also observable in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients (OR:1.48, 95% CI 1.19–1.85, I²=0, p < 0.005).

Conclusions

The TyG index, an economical and precise surrogate for IR, is significantly linked with ISR. Furthermore, this correlation is unaffected by the type of coronary heart disease.

Peer Review reports

Background

The advent of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has markedly reduced coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) mortality rates in recent years [1, 2]. However, stent implantation in the coronary artery can cause vascular injury and neointimal hyperplasia, leading to the occurrence of in-stent restenosis (ISR). According to reports, the occurrence of ISR in the new generation of drug-eluting stents is still about 3-10% [3, 4], and approximately 25% of patients with ISR present with acute myocardial infarction [5]. Although the incidence of ISR is low, considering the large number of people undergoing stent implantation for revascularization and the poor prognosis of ISR, it is crucial to discover groups at high risk for ISR.

Insulin resistance(IR) refers to an experimental or clinical phenomenon characterized by impaired insulin function in stimulating glucose uptake by tissue cells. This condition can lead to cellular metabolic disorders, activation of oxidative stress response, and endothelial dysfunction, making it a risk factor for ISR [6]. Recently, numerous studies have confirmed a close link between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and IR. Unlike the time-consuming and expensive hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique (HEC), the TyG offers a simpler approach to evaluating IR. It does not require insulin measurements. Instead, it relies on blood glucose and lipid measurements, making it suitable for widespread use in clinical practice [7]. A meta-analysis of 25,656 participants revealed that individuals with a high TyG index faced increased risks of CHD and had poor outcomes [8]. Observational studies also suggested a higher propensity for ISR in CHD patients with elevated TyG index levels. However, some of these studies have limitations due to their small sample sizes [9, 10]. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to overcome these limitations by combining sample sizes and thereby enhancing the overall test efficacy to explore the TyG index-ISR relationship.

Method

The composition of this meta-analysis adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement [11]. Furthermore, it was registered on the Prospero website (PROSPERO (york.ac.uk)) under registration number CRD42023482588. In the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases, literature published between 1990 and 2024 was independently searched by two authors (H.J and Y.L). The search utilized the following keywords: ‘stent,’ ‘stents,’ ‘stenting,’ ‘fasting glucose and triglyceride,’ ‘fasting glucose and triglycerides,’ ‘fasting plasma glucose and triglycerides,’ ‘fasting triglyceride-glucose index,’ ‘fasting plasma glucose and triglycerides index,’ ‘fasting triglycerides-glucose index,’ ‘glucose and triglycerides,’ ‘glucose and triglycerides index,’ ‘glucose-triglyceride index,’ ‘triglyceride and glucose index,’ ‘triglyceride x glucose index,’ ‘triglyceride-glucose index,’ ‘triglycerides x glucose,’ ‘triglycerides-glucose index,’ ‘TyG index,’ and ‘triglyceride-glucose index’. In cases of discrepancies during the search, the third author (Z. L) was consulted. Furthermore, we also meticulously screened the references of original and review articles. The search process did not restrict language. (Details can be found in Additional file 1).

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Eligibility for studies based on these criteria: (1) the research was either prospective or retrospective in design; (2) the study focused on the TyG index in relation to coronary in-stent restenosis; (3) the outcomes were reported as odds ratio (OR), relative risk (RR), or hazard ratio (HR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Exclusion of studies was based on these criteria: (1) non-human subjects; (2) studies lacking a control group; (3) research with inaccessible or unextractable data; (4) non-original research publications, including editorials, reviews, and letters to the editor.

Data extraction and quality assessment

The relevant data were extracted by two authors (H.J and Y.L). In case of disagreements, consultation with a third author (Z.L) was sought. Additionally, they separately recorded the following details: primary author, publication date, study design, duration of follow-up, geographical location of the study, sample size, demographic characteristics of patients, type of TyG index variable used, variables adjusted in multivariate regression analysis, and effect size. The quality assessment of the included studies was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), which allocates a score between 0 and 9 [12]. Studies that scored six or higher were categorized as possessing high methodological quality.

Statistical analysis

Given that ISR is a relatively low-probability event, it is commonly assumed that HR, RR, and OR are approximately equal (as in most studies) [13]. The OR extracted from each study was combined using the Inverse Variance method [14]. When analyzing the TyG index categorically, we extracted OR for ISR by comparing patients in the highest TyG index group to those in the lowest TyG index group. In analyzing the TyG index continuously, we extracted the OR for ISR with per unit increment in the TyG index.

The Cochran Q test and I2 statistic were used to assess heterogeneity, which was considered significant if I² exceeded 50% or the p-value was less than 0.05. Considering that we included only five studies and there were significant differences in study sizes among them, we opted for a fixed-effects model [15, 16]. The forest plot presented the combined results of the studies. To evaluate potential publication bias, we utilized funnel plots. Additionally, when necessary, Egger’s test and the trim-and-fill method were applied to further evaluate publication bias [17]. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the stability of the results [14, 18]. All statistical analyses were carried out via RevMan (Version 5.4.1).

Results

Literature search and selection

Initially, 161 articles were identified. After removing duplicate articles, the number was reduced to 107. Upon reviewing titles and abstracts, 94 articles were excluded for being irrelevant to the research topic. Full-text analysis was performed on the remaining thirteen articles, revealing that five did not report the TyG index, and three did not report ISR outcomes. Ultimately, five studies were included (Fig. 1).

Study characteristics and quality assessment

Five observational studies, comprising 3,912 participants who had previously undergone stent implantation and had no ISR at baseline, were included. Among these studies, three were conducted in China [10, 19, 20] and two in Turkey [9, 21]. Participants’ ages ranged from 56 to 63 years, with male proportions varying from 60 to 80% and diabetes prevalence between 0% and 50%. All five studies analyzed the TyG index as a continuous variable [9, 10, 19,20,21], with two additionally treating it as a categorical variable [19, 20]. All the studies conducted adjustments for confounding factors (Tables 1 and 2). The NOS scores for all five studies were above 6, indicating the high quality of the studies. (Details of the NOS scoring can be found in Additional file 1: Table S1 and S2).

TyG index and ISR in CHD patients

Analysis of data from five studies showed that, in the context of CHD patients, each incremental unit in the TyG index, when treated as a continuous variable, corresponded to a 42% elevation in ISR risk (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.26–1.59, I²=13%, p < 0.005, Fig. 2a) [9, 10, 19,20,21]. Moreover, in studies where the TyG index was categorized, results indicated a significantly higher risk of ISR in CHD patients with the highest TyG index compared to those with the lowest TyG index (OR: 1.69, 95% CI 1.32–2.17, I²=0, Fig. 2b) [19, 20]. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of these results irrespective of the analytical approach to the TyG index. (For more details on sensitive analysis, refer to Additional file 1: Figure S1).

TyG index and ISR in CCS and ACS patinents

In the two studies focusing on CCS patients, the combined results showed that for each unit increase in the TyG index, the risk of ISR in patients increased by 37% (95% CI 1.19–1.57, I²=0%, p < 0.005, Fig. 3) [9, 20]. A similar trend was observed in studies focusing on ACS patients (OR:1.48, 95% CI 1.19–1.85, I²=0, p < 0.005, Fig. 4) [10, 19]. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the reliability of these results (Additional file 1: Figure S2 and S3).

Publication bias

The funnel plot’s visual inspection indicated asymmetry, suggesting the likelihood of significant publication bias (Fig. 5). This was further supported by Egger’s test (p = 0.005). The application of the trim-and-fill method added two studies, and the new combined results remained consistent with the previous findings (OR = 1.382, 95% CI 1.234–1.548, p = 0.000, Fig. 6). Therefore, this publication bias may not significantly impact the overall results [22].

Discussion

Main finding

By integrating the results of five retrieved studies, we have drawn the following conclusions: (1) The TyG index is significantly associated with ISR; (2) Patients with elevated TyG index have a heightened propensity for ISR; (3) Subgroup analysis revealed that this association was unaffected by the type of coronary heart disease. Additionally, the inclusion of five studies may present a certain degree of publication bias. We supposed that small-study effects may be a predominant contributor to publication bias. Nevertheless, it is important to take into account that the asymmetry observed in the funnel plot could also be attributed to the chance, associated with a smaller number of studies.

The underlying mechanisms

As previously mentioned, the TyG index is related to IR [8]. This led us to reasonably hypothesize that IR may be a contributing factor to the occurrence of ISR. Firstly, the impact of insulin on blood vessels is intricate. Physiologically, it can activate the PI3K pathway to stimulate endothelial cells to produce nitric oxide (NO), which inhibits smooth muscle cell migration, prevents intimal hyperplasia, and reduces platelet adhesion and aggregation. In ISR, insulin downregulates the PI3K/AKT pathway, primarily stimulating the MAPK pathway, resulting in decreased NO release, which in turn promotes smooth muscle proliferation, cellular migration, and plaque formation. Secondly, IR-induced release of pro-inflammatory factors and free fatty acids may also contribute to the pathophysiology of ISR [23, 24].

TyG index and IR indicators

It must be acknowledged that the correlation between IR and ISR is not a recent discovery. More than 20 years ago, Piatti P and colleagues found that patients with ISR exhibited significant insulin resistance [25]. However, despite the established correlation between IR and ISR, exploring how the TyG index relates to ISR holds value. Firstly, the TyG index computation, based solely on fasting blood glucose and triglyceride concentrations, is a streamlined alternative to HOMA-IR, which necessitates fasting insulin readings, often inaccessible in various healthcare settings. The emergence of the TyG index thus offers an accessible tool for IR assessment, especially in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure. Secondly, its concordance with the HEC demonstrates the reliability in accurately gauging IR [26, 27]. Lastly, the practicality and cost-effectiveness of the TyG index endorse its application for extensive clinical diagnostics, underscoring the ongoing significance of exploring its connection with ISR.

TyG Index and Cardiovascular Disease

The TyG index extends its applicability beyond the realm of coronary heart disease, playing a significant role in the areas of heart failure and arrhythmias. Researchers have discovered in their studies on the risk factors for atrial fibrillation that patients with this condition tend to have higher TyG index levels. Moreover, a meta-analysis has shown that individuals with heart failure also exhibit elevated TyG index levels compared to healthy individuals [28,29,30]. Consequently, the TyG index is increasingly recognized as an indispensable tool for assessing cardiovascular risk, demonstrating its efficacy in prognosticating CHD, heart failure, arrhythmias, and associated clinical outcomes. As research progresses, the TyG index is anticipated to ascend as a paramount biomarker in the cardiovascular health landscape, guiding the development of nuanced, patient-centered treatment modalities across the globe.

Strengths and imitations

Our study pioneers in demonstrating the predictive utility of the TyG index for ISR through a meta-analytical approach. Given the scarcity of related research, our analysis serves to partially fill the knowledge void in this area. Furthermore, our findings provide robust theoretical support for the utilization of the TyG index as a screening tool for ISR in community hospitals and regions with limited medical resources. Ultimately, our research reaffirms the vital importance of the TyG index in the cardiovascular domain. Several limitations of our study must be recognized: firstly, being a meta-analysis predominantly comprising case-control studies, it was unable to conclusively determine causality, thereby weakening the robustness of the evidence. Secondly, the included literature may have some degree of publication bias, potentially affecting the accuracy of the results. Thirdly, the quantity of data from the included studies was somewhat limited, highlighting the need for additional research to confirm our conclusions.

Conclusions

In conclusion, our research establishes that the TyG index shows a significant association with ISR. This correlation is unaffected by the type of CHD. Moreover, our findings reveal that the TyG index is a helpful instrument to identify patients at increased risk of ISR, especially beneficial in regions where medical resources are sparse. However, further investigations are imperative to validate our findings.
