Plasma Lipids Associated with Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Lipidomic Analysis.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Patients with diabetes often develop abnormalities in lipid metabolism that can promote diabetic complications. Lipidomic studies have demonstrated that certain plasma lipid species are associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, the plasma lipids associated with endothelial dysfunction remain unclear. To identify the lipids associated with flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), an indicator of endothelial function, in patients with diabetes, we performed a cross-sectional analysis as a subanalysis of a previous lipidomic study. In total, 200 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in the analysis. A total of 55.0% were men, and the mean age (±standard deviation) was 61.1 ± 11.3 years. Their HbA1c and FMD values were 9.04 ± 1.79% (75.3 ± 19.5 mmol/mol) and 5.77 ± 2.55%, respectively. Supercritical fluid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based semi-targeted lipidomic analysis identified 349 lipids belonging to 16 lipid classes. We selected 13 distinctive lipids potentially associated with FMD, according to a sparse-group least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regularized regression model. Of these, seven phospholipids, including three phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) plasmalogens and three phosphatidylinositols (PIs), showed a positive association with FMD after adjusting for atherosclerotic risk factors. These findings may contribute to improving the assessment and management of endothelial dysfunction in patients with diabetes.
