Plasmapheresis as a Life-Saving Measure for Severe Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Acute Pancreatitis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) presenting as acute pancreatitis (AP) in the setting of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a rare combination, reported as the enigmatic triad in literature. Here we present a case of a 26-year-old woman, with diabetes mellitus (DM) for three years, who presented with features suggestive of acute pancreatitis complicated with DKA in addition to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Evaluation revealed severe HTG to the tune of 9947 mg/dL. She was managed with insulin infusion combined with three sessions of plasmapheresis, which led to marked clinical and biochemical improvement. This case highlights the importance of plasmapheresis as a lifesaving therapeutic option for severe HTG-induced AP.
