Refractory pruritus in cholestatic drug-induced liver injury secondary to androgenic anabolic steroids: Plasmapheresis to the rescue.
Article in Asian journal of transfusion science. 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
Anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) have long been misused by professional athletes. Easy online and over-the-counter availability of AASs makes it an alluring option even among amateurs for their desired cosmetic and performance-enhancing effects. AASs have been associated with distinct forms of liver injury including transient transaminitis, peliosis hepatis, and hepatic tumors. An acute cholestatic syndrome with bland histology is another characteristic form of liver injury rarely reported with AASs. Plasmapheresis may provide a long-lasting relief of symptoms when conventional pharmacotherapeutic measures fail. Herein, we report a challenging case of a young male with refractory pruritus secondary to AASs, managed effectively with plasmapheresis.
