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

Introduction: Up to 20% of the US population carries a penicillin allergy label; however, over 95% of those patients can safely tolerate penicillin. This discrepancy has important personal and public health consequences. There is no published curriculum for medical trainees that covers penicillin allergy history taking, risk assessment, and antibiotic prescribing. Methods: We created a 60-minute, interactive curriculum that targeted medical students during their internal medicine rotation. We employed learning strategies including didactics, case-based learning, and role-playing. We compared self-efficacy and knowledge before and after the intervention using paired Results: A total of 28 medical students participated, with 25 completing both the pre- and postworkshop surveys. There was a statistically significant improvement in student-rated preparedness to prescribe antibiotics to patients with a penicillin allergy label ( Discussion: The workshop employs adult learning techniques to improve self-efficacy and knowledge regarding penicillin allergy in medical students. Further work is needed to refine the curriculum, seek external validity, and determine the impact of this workshop on clinical outcomes.
