Changes in the Lipid Profile of Aqueous Humor From Diabetic Cataract Patients.

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
Purpose: To identify the differential profiles of lipids in aqueous humor (AH) between control and diabetic cataract patients. Methods: The lipidomic profiles of 19 samples from patients with diabetic cataract (diabetic group) and 32 controls (control group) were analyzed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Differentially expressed lipids between the two groups were determined through partial least-squares-discriminant analysis and principal component analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to evaluate the diagnostic value of differentially expressed lipids in distinguishing diabetic cataract patients from the control subjects. The correlations of the target lipids with the serum lipids were determined by Pearson correlation. Results: The results of LC-MS/MS analysis revealed a remarkable variation in lipid class composition. As compared with the control group, the percentage of triglycerides (TGs) was higher and that of Ceramide-1-phosphates was significantly lower in the AH of the diabetic group. A multivariate analysis of the lipid species showed that the expression levels of 16 of 639 lipids significantly changed in the diabetic group as compared to the control group. Among them, TG (42:6) (area under curve [AUC] = 0.985, P < 0.0001) and diacylglycerol (DG) (24:2) (AUC = 0.944, P < 0.0001) exhibited high prediction capability for diabetic cataract. The results of Pearson correlation revealed that the concentrations of TG (42:6) in AH were positively correlated with serum TG levels in diabetic patients. Conclusions: The lipid composition of AH of diabetic cataract patients showed a significant difference from that of the healthy subjects. Lipid changes, especially the high AH levels of TG (42:6) and DG (24:2), might contribute to cataractogenesis and possibly be involved in the development of diabetic cataract. Translational Relevance: Changes in the lipid profile of AH may partly account for the pathogenesis of diabetic cataracts and lead to a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic cataract.
