Delayed Hypersensitivity Reaction to Titanium-coated Polypropylene Mesh in Breast Reconstruction.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Breast implant reconstructions increasingly incorporate meshes like the synthetic nonresorbable titanium-coated polypropylene mesh commercialized as Tiloop (Pfm medical). We report the case of a 48-year-old woman, with a medical history of nickel allergy, who presented with an extensive erythematous eruption, a periprosthetic reaction, and an axillary node reaction, 18 months after a unilateral prophylactic mastectomy. We excluded infectious, sarcoidosis and carcinomatosis. The patient's medical history, the clinical evolution, and the particularly fast and complete healing after removal of the mesh were suggestive of an unusual allergic reaction to the titanium in the titanium-coated polypropylene mesh. Titanium allergies are very rare events, predominantly described in the dental and orthopedic fields. We also discussed the hypothesis of a tardive red breast syndrome related to a synthetic mesh, also mediated by immunological response as described recently in another case report.
