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

purpose of reviewWe review the literature and discuss the logistics of testing pregnant patients for penicillin allergy. RECENT

findingsAs in the general population, pregnant patients commonly report a penicillin allergy, but most patients are able to tolerate penicillin. Avoidance of beta-lactams in pregnancy is associated with increased morbidity: longer hospitalizations, more frequent infections, and more complications. Penicillin allergy testing is safe in pregnant patients, and obstetricians are eager for allergists to offer this procedure to their patients. As allergists, we can improve our patients' health outcomes by offering penicillin allergy testing in our practices. The protocols for testing both with and without skin testing in pregnant patients have been studied, and future studies will continue to clarify the safety and efficacy of penicillin allergy delabeling in pregnant patients.
