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

The majority of penicillin allergy labels are incorrect and a label of penicillin allergy is associated with worse outcomes and increased use of healthcare services. Penicillin allergy assessment and de-labelling may be considered in critically ill patients. An oral penicillin challenge is a common component of most penicillin allergy protocols. In critical illness, the enteral route may not be an option and is less reliable due to altered absorption kinetics. In this study, simulations were undertaken to determine an intravenous infusion dosing schedule for critically ill patients that matches the concentration-time profile of an oral penicillin drug provocation test in the general population. These simulations may help clinicians develop procedures for intravenous infusion penicillin drug provocation tests for critically ill patients.
