Uterine Anaphylaxis Due to Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) for Inhalant Allergens: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), commonly known as "allergy shots," aims to achieve a clinical tolerance for allergens that cause symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, allergic asthma, or insect sting allergies. Systemic reactions to SCIT are classified in severity from one organ system (grade 1) to anaphylaxis that potentially may have a fatal outcome (grade 5). Uterine cramps fall under grade 2, and they are rarely reported during SCIT. In this study, we report four cases of uterine anaphylaxis following SCIT for environmental allergens with symptoms such as severe lower abdominal cramping resembling menstrual cramps. Patients also experienced urticaria, angioedema, diffuse erythema, and flushing. None of the patients experienced uterine bleeding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest case series reporting this reaction to SCIT. We accompany this finding with a review of the literature on this rare but interesting topic.
