Angioedema presumably caused by hypersensitivity reactions to pacemaker implantation.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 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
Metal allergies, including hypersensitivity to medical devices, are thought to have decreased with the increasing number of medical devices made of titanium. However, cases of angioedema as well as local reactions have been reported after implantation of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices in patients. We report the case of a man in his 80s who experienced left arm swelling after pacemaker implantation 10 years previously, experienced recurrence of left arm swelling, and was diagnosed with angioedema after pacemaker battery exchange. Angioedema should be listed as a differential diagnosis for edema of the arm in patients implanted with implantable cardiovascular electronic devices. Learning objective: Angioedema due to metal allergies should be listed as a differential diagnosis for edema of the arm in patients implanted with implantable cardiovascular electronic devices even in a pacemaker implanted 10 years previously.
