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

introductionNowadays, the number of people with drug hypersensitivity has been increasing and it has become a major problem for the healthcare system. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of which medications they can safely use.

aimTo assess the suitability of a drug allergy passport in patients with drug hypersensitivity in order to increase knowledge about medicines that can be safely used. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe study was conducted in 54 hospitalized patients with confirmed hypersensitivity to drugs by issuing a drug passport at discharge. The study was carried out with the questionnaire method. The questionnaire was conducted by phone 3, 6 and 12 months after the patients received the drug passport.

resultsFifty-eight people were contacted by phone. The survey was conducted in 54 people (42 women (77%), mean age: 48, range: 19-71), which gives a response rate of 98%. The application of the drug allergy passport by patients increased with time and the number of patients who did not use their passport decreased. With time, patients showed the drug allergy passport to a larger number of doctors, most often to general practitioners and dentists. In the following months, the number of doctors who followed passport recommendations and patients who adhered to the passport recommendations increased.

conclusionsThe analysis of drug allergy passport shows that patients are better informed about medicines they can use and have a greater sense of security. By showing the passport to specialists, they choose the safest and adequate treatment.
