Deficiencies in the Assessment of Penicillin Allergy in Hospitalized Children in Hawai'i, 2021-2023.
Article in Hawai'i journal of health & social welfare, 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
Although claims of penicillin allergy are common, after evaluation they are seldom confirmed and can lead to unnecessary interventions. National recommendations are to thoroughly evaluate potential allergies and, if appropriate, to delabel. This retrospective study reviewed records of children hospitalized at Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawai'i, between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023 to assess the frequency of penicillin allergy claims, the appropriateness of their evaluation, and initiation of interventions. Of 3484 hospitalized children, 97 (2.8%) reported penicillin allergy. Documentation, by the admitting team, of the nature of allergy was incomplete for most (97%) of the hospitalizations, leading to deficient risk stratification, lack of implementation of recommended interventions, and frequent use of second-line antibiotics in 46.8% of those who required antibiotic treatment. While this problem is not unique to Hawai'i, it emphasizes the need for education among local providers to improve outcomes.
