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

abstractHydrocortisone and pheniramine are frequently administered drugs for the management of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions. However, there is hardly any literature that shows the association between the use of these drugs for the management of anaphylactic reactions that can induce serious adverse effect. We present a peculiar case of loss of consciousness following concurrent administration of intravenous pheniramine (Avil) and hydrocortisone (primacort) for the management of another drug-induced adverse reaction characterized by urticaria and pruritis that erupted succeeding intake of a fluoroquinolone group of the drug (ofloxacin). Loss of consciousness associated with pheniramine is a serious adverse drug reaction and its association was found out to be "probable/likely" according to the WHO-UMC Causality Assessment Scale. Such reactions, although rare, can be serious requiring immediate hospitalization and warrant vigilance.
