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

objectivesTo explore factors that are associated with reactogenicity in general and systemic after the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine in the Netherlands.

designA web-based prospective cohort design using patient reported outcomes (PROs).

settingAny person who has been vaccinated with any brand of COVID-19 vaccine in the Dutch COVID immunization programme.

participants22,184 participants. Of these, 13,959 (62.9%) experienced reactogenicity in general and 11,979 (54.0%) systemic reactogenicity within 7 days after vaccination.

main outcome measuresFactors that are associated with the occurrence of reactogenicity after COVID-19 vaccination.

resultsCompared to the Comirnaty® vaccine, the highest odds ratio (OR) for developing reactogenicity was for the Vaxzevria® vaccine (OR 5.18) followed by Spikevax® (OR 2.16), and Janssen (OR 1.65). Participants with a history of COVID-19 disease had a 3.10 increased odds for reactogenicity. Women had a 2.08 increased odds compared to men. Older participants experienced less reactogenicity. Compared to the age group < 50, the ORs for the age groups 50-60, 61-79, and ≥80 were 0.36, 0.15, and 0.10 respectively. The use of an antipyretic drug, or a drug for nervous system disorders gave an increased odds of 1.34 and 1.16 respectively. A body mass index of 25.0-29.9 and over 30 was negatively associated with reactogenicity (OR 0.87 and OR 0.72 respectively). Comorbidities that were associated with reactogenicity were cardiac disorders (OR 1.26), respiratory disorders (OR 1.31), psychiatric disorders (1.37), reproductive disorders (OR 1.54), and eye disorders (OR 1.55). The factors associated with systemic reactogenicity were mostly comparable, but there were differences for comorbidities, drug use, and the strength of the regression coefficient.

conclusionsThis extensive study with over 22,000 vaccine recipients in the Netherlands demonstrated that, taken into account all factors in the model, the Comirnaty® vaccine gave the least and the Vaxzevria® vaccine the most reactogenicity in general and systemic after the first dose. Also a person with a history of COVID-19 disease, female sex and younger age had an increased odds for experiencing reactogenicity after vaccination.
