Delayed hypersensitivity reaction to penicillin can be lost (and gained): Skin test resensitization following prolonged oral provocation test.
Article in Asia Pacific allergy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present an interesting case that demonstrated that delayed beta-lactam hypersensitivity can be lost, as demonstrated by both the initial skin test and challenge, and gained, as proven by a repeat delayed skin test positivity 4 weeks after the initial evaluation in this case. We postulate that positivity over the intradermal site following the completion of prolonged challenge occurs due to the priming and resensitization of circulating T cells and the homing of these drug-specific T cells to the skin (sites of intradermal testing) where the penicillin antigens are still present. Of note, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following skin tests is rare, as typical wheals and flare reactions associated with skin testing resolve completely. Thus, we postulate that the postinflammatory hyperpigmentation that is seen in this case may be representative of T cell mechanisms similar to that of a fixed drug eruption.
