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

We present a case of a 24-year-old male patient who presented to our institution five days after receiving his first dose of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to rule out acute coronary syndrome due to chest pain along with troponin increase and ECG changes. Acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection was excluded based on a negative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test of specimens acquired using nasopharyngeal swabs for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and all other viral serologies were found to be negative. Coronary angiogram showed normal coronaries, and the presence of late gadolinium enhancement, which is indicative of myocarditis, was identified using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our case report raises concern that the COVID-19 vaccine may cause myocarditis as a rare side effect.
