Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-Induced Anaphylaxis: A Cautionary Case for the Gastroenterologist in the COVID Era.

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
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has widespread use and, while initially thought to be inert, has proven to be immunogenic. We discuss the case of a 37-year-old female patient who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after sustaining a cardiac arrest in the community. Fifteen minutes after ingestion of PEG, she developed hand swelling, which over minutes progressed to difficulty with breathing and swallowing. The Allergy service was consulted. Anaphylaxis was suspected by the presentation and confirmed after detailed exposure and ingestion history, along with an acute tryptase rise. Allergy to PEG was confirmed by skin testing in the outpatient allergy clinic after the patient was discharged from the hospital.
