Therapeutic Plasma Exchange Shows Greater Efficacy Than DFPP in Reducing FT3 and FT4 Levels in Thyrotoxicosis due to Amiodarone-Induced Thyrotoxicosis Type 2.
Article in Journal of clinical apheresis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) recommendations only mention using therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) to treat drug-resistant thyroid storms. Double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) is a therapeutic apheresis procedure with the advantage of being semi-selective, making it possible to limit albumin losses and reduce the volume of replacement fluid. However, there have been no studies comparing the efficacy and tolerability of TPE and DFPP for this specific indication. We hereby report the observation of 2 patients treated for thyroid storms due to amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis who were each able to benefit from TPE as well as DFPP sessions, enabling us to compare the purification of free thyroid hormones and tolerance of these two treatments. TPE showed greater efficiency in removing thyroid hormones with the same tolerability as DFPP.
