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

Background: The most well-known adverse reaction of penicillins is anaphylactic shock, which mostly occurs within the first few minutes of the initial administration. However, cases of sudden anaphylactic shock that develop after multiple consecutive doses with no prior adverse events are extremely rare. Case presentation: This report presents a case of sudden suspected anaphylactic shock in a 20-month-old toddler following several consecutive days of uneventful administration of piperacillin-tazobactam. Conclusion: This case underscores that the sensitization phase of β-lactam antibiotics may remain occult throughout the entire course of treatment. The absence of severe adverse reactions during early drug administration does not eliminate subsequent hypersensitivity risks, which emphasizes the imperative for clinicians to implement rigorous monitoring during each administration to safeguard pediatric medication safety.
