Allergic Contact Dermatitis Caused by Silver Sulfate Present in the Wound Dressing Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Unusual Case.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed orthopedic surgical procedure for severe cases of osteoarthritis, providing significant pain relief and improved function. Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old female who underwent TKA on her left knee and presented later with erythema, itching, and burning sensation on the left knee, raising a suspicion of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) following the use of a silver sulfate-containing wound dressing after TKA. The patient was managed successfully with a conservative approach, receiving medical treatment after the allergy was reported, and was discharged with only minimal neurological residuals. Although ACD to silver sulfate is uncommon, maintaining a high index of suspicion, supported by comprehensive history taking and examination, is crucial for early detection and effective management to mitigate potential complications.
