DRESS Syndrome in Patients With Drug-Induced Liver Injury: Characteristics and HLA Risk Factors.
Article in The American journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionDrug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) can sometimes occur in patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI). However, detailed studies of DRESS in patients with DILI from the United States are lacking. We investigated the characteristics and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) risks for DILI who also developed DRESS.
methodsPatients with definite, highly likely, or probable DILI enrolled into US DILI Network studies between September 2004 and August 2023 were included. DRESS was defined based on modified RegiSCAR criteria. HLA alleles were compared between DILI-DRESS cases and 2 control groups (DILI with non-DRESS rash [n = 244] and DILI without rash [n = 1,637]).
resultsOf 2,121 participants with DILI during the study period, 128 participants had DRESS (6%). The most frequently implicated drugs causing DRESS were trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, lamotrigine, phenytoin, allopurinol, and vancomycin. Compared with 1993 patients with DILI without DRESS, patients with DILI + DRESS were younger (mean age 42.3 years vs 50.6 years), were more likely to be Black (26% vs 12%), and had shorter latency (median 31 days vs 47 days), higher frequency of rash (100% vs 13%), eosinophilia (55% vs 13%), and fever (76% vs 16%) ( P < 0.001 for all). Compared with DILI without DRESS, DILI + DRESS had more severe liver injury (severe/fatal: 45% vs 21.5%, P < 0.001) and higher overall (15.6% vs 6.3%, P < 0.001) and liver-related (9% vs 2.3%, P < 0.001) mortality. HLA A*32:01 , HLA B*53:01 , and HLA B*58:01 were significantly enriched in DILI-DRESS cases, compared with control groups. DISCUSSION: Patients with DILI and DRESS are younger, are more likely to be Black, have shorter time to DILI onset with more severe liver injury and higher overall and liver-related mortality. HLA A*32:01 , HLA B*53:01 , and HLA B*58:01 are risk factors for DILI-DRESS.
