Nickel Allergy in Cardiothoracic Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in The Thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon reports, 2026. 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
Background: Metal hypersensitivity represents a rare but important challenge in cardiothoracic surgery, particularly during prosthesis selection for aortic valve replacement. Case Description: A 63-year-old woman with critical bicuspid aortic stenosis and moderate left ventricular dysfunction was found to have severe hypersensitivity to multiple metal alloys, including nickel, palladium, and iridium. Following multidisciplinary evaluation, standard surgical aortic valve replacement was considered unsafe. A transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation using a cobalt-chromium transcatheter valve was successfully performed without complications. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of individualized, multidisciplinary decision-making when managing patients with significant metal hypersensitivity.
