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

backgroundSudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is a relatively rare symptom after immunisation from commonly used vaccines such as rabies, hepatitis B, measles and H1N1 and it could be an occasional symptom of COVID-19, even in mild manifestations of the disease. CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 57-year-old patient that reported SSNHL and tinnitus in his right ear 2 days after the inoculation of the Oxford-AstraZeneca (VAXZEVRIA) Covid-19 vaccine. The patient almost fully recovered after therapy and was referred to a long term follow-up program.

conclusionThe current report underlines the importance to consider SSNHL as a possible rare adverse effect of the Covid-19 vaccine and take in account this possibility to promptly proceed with diagnosis and treatment of suspect cases.
