Aqueous humor adipokine profile of primary open angle glaucoma patients and cataract patients with or without metabolic disorders.

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
aimTo investigate the role of adipokines in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) by comparing the levels of these molecules in the aqueous humor among POAG patients and cataract patients with or without metabolic disorders.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, aqueous humor samples of 22 eyes of POAG patients (POAG group), 24 eyes of cataract patients without metabolic disorders (cataract group), and 24 eyes of cataract patients with metabolic disorders (cataract+metabolic disorders group) were assessed for 15 adipokines by Luminex bead-based multiplex array. The correlation between aqueous humor adipokines and clinical indicators of POAG was analyzed and compared across the groups.
resultsThe analysis revealed that the levels of adiponectin, leptin, adipsin, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), angiopoietin-2, angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the aqueous humor of the POAG group were significantly higher than those in the cataract group. Additionally, the level of angiopoietin-2 in the POAG group was higher than in the cataract+metabolic disorders group. However, no significant correlation was found between the levels of adipokines in the POAG group and intraocular pressure (IOP), severity of POAG, or the use of glaucoma medications.
conclusionThis study demonstrates significant differences in aqueous humor adipokine levels between POAG and cataract patients. The findings suggest that the levels of aqueous humor adipokines may reflect the inflammatory states in POAG and systemic metabolic abnormalities.
