Metallosis Following Titanium Implant Use in the Hand: A Case Report and Review of Current Literature.
Article in Journal of hand and microsurgery, 2023. 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
Adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) consists of a spectrum of changes ranging from pure metallosis to aseptic lymphocytic vasculitis-associated lesion and granulomatous inflammation. Currently described ARMD cases are mainly limited to arthroplasty, typically total hip and knee arthroplasties in the lower limb and total wrist arthroplasty in the upper limb. Hypersensitivity to a metallic implant in fracture fixation is rare, and a severe form of metallosis has not been reported so far. In this paper, we present a case of ARMD occurring 10 years after the use of titanium implants for fracture fixation in the hand. Intra-operative findings, histopathological results, and a literature review on ARMD are also described.
