Zieve syndrome presenting with lipaemia and treated by plasmapheresis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Zieve syndrome is a rare condition which occurs in patients with severe alcohol abuse. It is typically characterised by the triad of jaundice, haemolytic anaemia and transient hyperlipidaemia. In the following report, we present the case of a man in his 30s who was admitted to our emergency department with severe epigastric pain and signs of alcohol intoxication. Blood samples showed signs of severe hyperlipidaemia and jaundice. Due to massive hyperlipidaemia, laboratory measurements of triglycerides were impaired and the blood samples had a 'yellowish' and 'creamy' texture. In order to prevent pancreatitis, plasmapheresis was performed. Subsequently, triglyceride concentration dropped and the patient was discharged a few days later in significantly improved physical condition. In the following case report, we discuss plasmapheresis as a possible treatment for patients with severe Zieve syndrome in addition to conventional symptomatic therapy.
