1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMetal allergy is frequently seen. Orthopedic metal implants, such as external fixators or other stainless implants, contain chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which can cause type IV hypersensitivity. CASE SUMMARY: A patient diagnosed with open comminuted tibiofibular fracture was treated with external fixation surgery, and she showed contact dermatitis and eczema-like symptoms 2 weeks postoperatively. She was then diagnosed as allergic to several metals by patch test and subsequently treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), both orally and externally for 1 month. TCM treatment significantly alleviated the hypersensitive symptoms and made the patient bear the external fixator for 2 months until bone union.

conclusionTCM therapy may be an effective treatment for external fixation-induced metal allergy and contact dermatitis.
