Venous sinus thrombosis after the second jab of an mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
Article in Brain hemorrhages, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectivesVenous sinus thrombosis (VST) after vaccination with the mRNA-based vaccine produced by Pfizer is comparatively rare and usually occurs after the first dose. VST after the second dose has been reported in only few patients. CASE REPORT: The patient is a 33yo male who experienced an episode of sudden onset focal, stabbing headache in the left temporal region for about 4 h. Three days later a similar episode occurred accompanied by a focal seizure. Twenty days before he had received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Clinical exam was normal but MRI of the brain revealed a VST of the left transverse and sigmoid sinuses. Anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin followed by dabigatran resulted in complete recovery.
conclusionsThis case shows that also the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine can be followed by a VST. Currently, there are more arguments in favour of a causal relation between the vaccination and the VST than against it.
