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

purposeDrugs are among the most common triggers of severe anaphylactic reactions in adults. The aim of our study was to identify the most frequently suspected drugs and associated factors of severe drug-associated anaphylactic reactions in two different data sources. Moreover, the impact of the route of administration (oral versus intravenous) was investigated.

methodsSevere drug-associated anaphylactic reactions from Germany were analysed in 1046 cases of the European Anaphylaxis Registry and in 1878 spontaneous reports of the European adverse drug reaction (ADR) database EudraVigilance.

resultsSeveral analgesics, antibiotics and contrast media were among others reported most frequently in both data sources. In addition, antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents were commonly reported in spontaneous reports. As associated factors, thyroid disorders, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, as well as cardiovascular diseases, were frequently reported in both. Serious reactions such as cardiac arrest were more commonly reported for intravenously administered drugs, while skin reactions were more common for orally administered drugs.

conclusionsThe analyses of two datasets differing regarding their data collection enables to get a more complete picture of severe anaphylactic reactions in real world settings. Our study confirms that patients with thyroid disorders, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases (e.g. asthma) might carry a higher risk to develop severe anaphylactic reaction. The more serious course of anaphylactic reactions related to intravenously compared to orally applied drugs may result from the faster availability of intravenously administered drugs or differences among the patient populations.
