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

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is a first-generation antihistamine that is primarily used to treat allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, urticaria, and allergic rhinitis. Despite its availability as an over-the-counter medication, adverse physiologic effects and toxicity may occur with its use especially when administered rapidly via the intravenous route or when administered in large or excessive doses. The development and history of diphenhydramine is presented, its physiologic effects and clinical uses outlined, previous reports of clinically significant and potentially life-threatening adverse effects reviewed, and options to limit these effects discussed.
