Aseptic meningoencephalitis after COVID-19 vaccination: A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionSeveral types of vaccine have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aims to report the first case of meningoencephalitis after receiving the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old lady presented with headache, fever and rigor for 4 days. She had acute confessional state and inability to talk. She was conscious, disoriented, not obeying commands. Acyclovir vial IV 750 mg three times a day for 14 days were prescribed. She responded very well. DISCUSSION: Concern has been raised about the safety of vaccinations. The most common side effects of COVID-19 vaccinations are local responses at the injection site, followed by non-specific systemic symptoms such as headache, tiredness, myalgia, and fever. These may appear shortly after immunization and disappear in a short period of time
conclusionAlthough extremely rare, aseptic meningoencephalitis could occur after COVID-19 vaccination. The patient could be managed conservatively with a good clinical outcome.
