Leukocytapheresis: An "Out-of-Body" Experience in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in Gastroenterology & hepatology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Leukocytapheresis has reemerged as a novel "nondrug" approach in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The technique involves the extracorporeal passage of peripheral blood through a column of cellulose diacetate beads (Adacolumn) or a nonwoven polyester fiber filter (Cellsorba). The benefits accrued from the filtered extraction of granulocytes, monocytes (Adacolumn), and lymphocytes (Cellsorba) appear greater than the simple extraction of these cells. There appears to be an immunologic modulation of leukocytes and dendritic cells and a diminished response to proinflammatory cytokines. Unfortunately, blinded placebo-controlled trials are lacking. Nevertheless, the aggregate clinical experience detailed in this review suggests a relatively safe and attractive alternative to current inflammatory bowel disease therapies. Randomized, controlled sham trials are in progress.
