Examination of colorectal cancer cases with metal allergy.
Article in Surgery today, 2023. 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
purposeTo report our initiatives and treatment results for patients with colorectal cancer with metal allergy.
methodsA total of 27 patients (2.6%) with a history of metal contact dermatitis were identified among 1027 patients who underwent curative resection of colorectal cancer from 2014 to 2020. The results of the patch test, perioperative results, and postoperative colonoscopy findings were also investigated.
resultsThe patch test for metal allergens and staples was performed in 21 patients (77.8%), and 13 of them (61.9%) tested positive for at least one metal allergen. Ni (38.1%), Co (28.6%), and Pd (19.0%) showed higher positive rates than other metals, and 1 patient (4.8%) tested positive for staples. Stapled anastomosis/suturing was performed as planned in 15 of 27 patients. In 10 patients, the anastomosis method was changed from stapled to hand-sewn according to the no-patch test results (60%), positivity for multiple metals (20%), positivity for staples (10%), and surgeon's judgment (10%). No complications and abnormal colonoscopy findings were found to be associated with stapled anastomosis/suturing.
conclusionThe patch test is useful for selecting an optimal anastomosis method for patients with suspected metal allergy.
