Outpatient monthly plasmapheresis with post-PLEX evinacumab in pediatric homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: a case report on port access and immunoglobulin preservation.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severely elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, predisposing patients to early cardiovascular disease. While LDL apheresis is the standard extracorporeal therapy, plasmapheresis (PLEX) is often used in younger children due to limitations in vascular access. Evinacumab, an ANGPTL3 inhibitor, has emerged as an effective adjunct for lowering LDL cholesterol. This case, to our knowledge, describes the first pediatric outpatient implementation of monthly plasmapheresis with post-PLEX Evinacumab infusions, enabled by dual-port access and Octaplasma support to maintain immunoglobulin levels. This report highlights procedural innovations that enabled sustained therapy and emphasizes the need for standardized approaches for combining Evinacumab with extracorporeal treatment in pediatric HoFH.
