Verrucous plane xanthomas secondary to lipoprotein X dyslipidemia in the context of cholestatic fulminant hepatitis: A case report.

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
Cutaneous xanthomas are the result of dermal deposition of lipid, mostly caused by disorders of lipid metabolism. Less commonly, they occur in the setting of cholestatic liver disease, leading to accumulation of lipoprotein X, a rare form of dyslipidemia that does not respond well to conventional treatments. We describe an atypical presentation of sudden diffuse xanthomas secondary to lipoprotein X dyslipidemia in the context of cholestatic fulminant hepatitis caused by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole hypersensitivity. Histopathology was also atypical and showed an unusual verrucous appearance consisting of overlying epidermal hyperplasia with hyperkeratosis. Our patient had significant improvement, after normalization of her lipid panel under cholestyramine and 13 sessions of apheresis, with topical corticosteroids offering some relief. This rare case shows the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of xanthomas, particularly when they do not respond to conventional dyslipidemia treatments.
