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

There are rising concerns among the medical community and the public regarding the side effects of different vaccines developed throughout the world and their short and long-term effects, particularly COVID19 vaccines. Most notably, post-vaccination demyelinating diseases such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, and multiple sclerosis relapses have been reported. We present a case of a 32-year-old male who presented with a 2 weeks history of acute confusional state and imbalance 1 week after receiving the second dose of COVID19 vaccination. MRI findings showed typical distribution of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and the patient was positive for AQP4 IgG. The pathogenesis behind developing neuromyelitis optica and vaccines is still unknown. Few case reports have been reported of post-vaccination neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder but to our knowledge, this would be the first case published of neuromyelitis optica following exposure to COVID19 vaccine.
