EFFICACY OF DOUBLE FILTRATION PLASMAPHERESIS TREATMENT IN ACUTE PANCREATITIS ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERE HYPERTRIGLYCERIDEMIA.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and aim: Hypertriglyceridemia is one of the leading causes of acute pancreatitis and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Today the recommended treatment options are fasting, hydration, if necessary antibiotics and there is not a standard recommendation to decrease triglycerides rapidly. Double Fıltratıon Plasmapheresis (DFPP) may be an option to decrease triglycerides rapidly but its effect on the disease course is unknown. Method: In the present study, we present results of four acute pancreatitis cases associated with hypertriglyceridemia treated with DFPP. All of the patients were diagnosed as acute pancreatitis at emergency room and no complications were observed in sessions. A 76.3% reduction in triglyceride levels was observed in one or two treatment sessions. Results and conclusion: DFPP is an effective and safe option to decrease triglyceride levels rapidly but further research is needed to show the effect on mortality and morbidity.
