Pediatric Implant of a Gold-Coated Defibrillator due to Persistent Metal Hypersensitivity: Case Report.
Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 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
A 9-year-old boy presented with repeated exteriorization of four implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), despite changes in implantation site and the use of antimicrobial or polymeric envelopes. The initial device was placed following an episode of ventricular fibrillation, with imaging revealing non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Over subsequent procedures, he developed hypertrophic incisional scarring and granulomatous inflammation. Titanium hypersensitivity was confirmed via dermal testing, though all wound and blood cultures remained negative. After partial exteriorization of a fifth device, a gold-coated ICD was implanted, with improved wound healing. This case underscores the need to consider allergic reactions to device materials when managing recurrent pocket complications.
