Subtype-Specific Associations Between Hyperlipidemia and Age-Related Cataract: A Clinic-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

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: Age-related cataract (ARC) is the leading cause of global blindness in the elderly. An unbalanced metabolic state is known to contribute to lens epithelial cell dysfunction and ARC pathogenesis. However, the relationship between hyperlipidemia and ARC remains controversial. Methods: In this cross-sectional study based in the Eye and Ears, Nose, and Throat Hospital, Fudan University, a total of 384 ARC subjects were included, and stratified by cataract morphology (cortical, nuclear, and posterior subcapsular cataract [PSC]). Detailed ocular and systemic evaluations were performed. Ordinal univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify associations between serum biochemical indices and ARC severity. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, multivariate analysis revealed that hyperlipidemia was independently associated with PSC severity. Specifically, elevated apolipoprotein B (APO-B; odds ratio [OR], 1.767; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.297-2.408) and triglycerides (TG; OR, 1.311; 95% CI, 1.014-1.697) were significant risk factors, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; OR, 0.738; 95% CI, 0.572-0.952) demonstrated an inverse association. In contrast, cortical cataract severity was independently associated with female sex (OR, 1.829; 95% CI, 1.147-2.916), elevated APO-B (OR, 1.231; 95% CI, 1.012-1.498) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; OR, 1.264; 95% CI, 1.040-1.536). Nuclear cataract was primarily associated with older age (OR, 1.608; 95% CI, 1.301-1.987) and longer axial length (OR, 1.310; 95% CI, 1.064-1.611), with no independent links to serum lipids. Conclusion: These cross-sectional findings demonstrate a significant and subtype-specific association between hyperlipidemia and ARC, particularly regarding PSC severity. While these associative results are exploratory, lipid biomarkers may generate hypotheses for future risk stratification and preventive strategies.
