Perioperative Considerations for Alpha-Gal Syndrome: A Literature Review and Single-Center Experience in a Highly Endemic Area.
Review in Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is an acquired allergy characterized as a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to the galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose carbohydrate, which is present on mammalian meat. AGS can cause severe anaphylactic reactions and has been implicated in intraoperative reactions to medications or surgical products that are derived from mammalian meat. This narrative review will describe the current literature on alpha-gal etiology, epidemiology, and perioperative management. Additionally, our institution is present in Suffolk County, New York, US, a highly endemic area, and we share our centers' recommendations for managing AGS patients from their initial preoperative presentation throughout the perioperative period. We propose a detailed pathway for detection, preparedness, and intraoperative management of AGS patients undergoing elective surgery as well as alternative management suggestions for AGS patients undergoing emergency surgery.
