1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sulfonamides, particularly antimicrobial sulfonamides, have been implicated as a common cause of a spectrum of hypersensitivity reactions. Immediate IgE-mediated reactions have been reported but are much less common than delayed cutaneous reactions. Delayed cutaneous reactions range from benign exanthems to severe cutaneous reactions such as Stevens Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. Sulfonamides can be subclassified as antimicrobial sulfonamides and non-antimicrobial sulfonamides, which are also distinguished by key structural differences, resulting in very low risk of cross-reactivity between these two subclasses. Immediate and delayed skin testing and in vitro testing remain limited as options in evaluating antimicrobial sulfonamide hypersensitivity. Drug challenges continue to play an important role in the evaluation of both immediate and delayed reactions, with a growing body of evidence for the safety of direct challenges regardless of human immunodeficiency virus infection status. While numerous "desensitization" protocols have been described for the management of antimicrobial sulfonamide hypersensitivity, there is limited evidence that such procedures are successful because of an induction of tolerance.
