[Lipoprotein apheresis : State of the art and case report of the longest HELP treatment worldwide].
Review in Herz, 2022. 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
Lipoprotein apheresis is an extracorporeal procedure for the treatment of patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, patients with severe treatment-resistant hypercholesterolemia and patients with lipoprotein(a) hypercholesterolemia, who show progressive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease despite optimal treatment. This article reports on the historical developments of the procedures, the most frequently used methods for apheresis as well as the data situation on efficacy and tolerability. Randomized prospective studies on clinical outcomes are not available. Furthermore, the article reports on a patient with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and 34 years of treatment with heparin-induced extracorporeal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) precipitation (HELP) apheresis, the longest treatment of this kind worldwide. A second patient with combined heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and 31 years of liposorber and HELP apheresis is also described. The observational studies and the case reports demonstrate the safety and long-term tolerability of the procedure.
