Intentional rechallenge: does the benefit outweigh the risk?
Article in Drug safety, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Rechallenge is defined as the readministration of a medication suspected of being a possible cause of an adverse reaction and which has been discontinued as result. It may be unintentional when the appearance of a reaction was initially not attributed to the medication. A rechallenge may be intentional when a prescriber decides that the benefit of rechallenge will outweigh its risk. When considering intentional rechallenge, one should take into account the benefit/risk balance of the suspected causative medication, and the benefit/risk balance of the best available alternative treatment or no treatment. Clinical knowledge is essential in benefit/risk assessment but there is currently no suitable tool to guide the decision on rechallenge. This article aims to propose points to consider in the creation of reaction-specific algorithms for risk assessment and management in the case of drug rechallenge.
