Treatment of Severe Hypertriglyceridemia During Pregnancy With High Doses of Omega-3 Fatty Acid and Plasmapheresis.
Article in AACE clinical case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveSevere hypertriglyceridemia carries increased health risks, including the development of pancreatitis. The objective of this study was to report on management of 2 cases with severe gestational hypertriglyceridemia. CASES: In case 1, a 33-year-old pregnant woman presented with serum triglyceride level of 14 000 mg/dL after discontinuing hypolipidemic medications. She was treated with Lovaza 12 g/day, and serum triglyceride remained near normal at level of less than 800 mg mg/dL until delivery. In case 2, a 28-year-old patient (29 DISCUSSION: Case 1 was treated with high-dose Lovaza and case 2 was treated with plasmapheresis successfully. Triglyceride levels were reduced to less than 500 mg/dL until delivery of healthy babies in both cases.
conclusionOmega-3 fatty acids and plasmapheresis may be effective and safe to treat pregnant women with severe hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis.
