Evaluation of Antibiotic Allergy in the Ambulatory Setting Using a Standardized Questionnaire.
Article in Journal of pharmacy practice, 2024. 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
Patients are sometimes mislabeled as having an immune-mediated antibiotic allergy in their medical records. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of subjects with non-immune mediated reactions to antibiotics using a standardized questionnaire. Subjects aged 18 years and older with a documented antibiotic allergy were identified and recruited from 2 outpatient clinics in the greater Chicago area. Subjects completed a standardized questionnaire during a single visit regarding their previous adverse reaction to an antibiotic. For subjects with multiple documented antibiotic allergies, 1 questionnaire was filled out for each antibiotic allergy. Investigators subsequently evaluated the questionnaire responses to determine whether the adverse reaction was a true immune-mediated allergic reaction or an adverse drug reaction. A total of 98 subjects were recruited with completion of 159 questionnaires. Eighteen subjects (18.37%, 95% CI: 10.7%, 26.3%) had antibiotic allergy labels with no corresponding immune-mediated reaction history. There were 35 allergy labels (22.0%, 95% CI: 14.7%, 29.4%) that were unlikely to be immune-mediated. Antibiotics with the highest percentage of clinical histories that were unlikely to be immune-mediated were macrolides (8 of 11 subjects), nitrofurantoin (1 of 2 subjects), and amoxicillin/clavulanate (2 of 8 subjects). The most common antibiotic allergy labels were penicillin (43 of 159 subjects), sulfonamides (25 of 159 subjects), and fluoroquinolones (21 of 159 subjects). Identification of adverse reactions to antibiotics that are unlikely to be immune-mediated can be accomplished using a standardized questionnaire in the outpatient setting. Improved identification of low-risk antibiotic allergy labels can guide de-labeling initiatives to improve antibiotic prescribing.
