Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Special Statement: Assessment and management of reported penicillin allergy in pregnancy.
Article in Pregnancy (Hoboken, N.J.), 2026. 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
Approximately 8% of pregnant people report being allergic to penicillin, yet most of these patients are not truly allergic, either because their allergy has waned or was misdiagnosed in the first place. Penicillin allergy testing can distinguish those who are at risk for reaction to penicillin from those with no or minimal risk. Pregnant patients who report a penicillin allergy may need alternative antibiotics, which are more costly and less effective than first-line antibiotics and are associated with increased maternal risks. Identifying patients who can tolerate penicillin and other β-lactam antibiotics through testing contributes to antibiotic stewardship, improves health outcomes, and saves costs. This Special Statement describes the steps for obstetrical providers to develop a penicillin allergy testing program for pregnant people using a quality improvement framework and multidisciplinary collaboration. It describes in detail how to plan an effective program and provides sample documents that can be modified to support planning, implementation, and evaluation.
