A COVID-19 vaccination precipitating symptomatic calcific tendinitis: A case report.

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
introductionShoulder pathology may be symptomatic or asymptomatic depending on the patient. We report the first case of a COVID-19 vaccination administration precipitating symptomatic calcific tendinitis from pre-existing, asymptomatic calcific tendinitis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old Thai male began experiencing left shoulder pain about 3 hours following a COVID-19 vaccination. He waited at home for the pain to improve, and when it did not improve in about 3 days he decided to see a doctor at the orthopedics clinic. He was sent for ultrasonography of his shoulder, which revealed calcific tendinitis of the subscapularis tendon. DISCUSSION: A SIRVA is normally considered if post-vaccination shoulder pain has not improved within a few days following a vaccination in a patient without shoulder pain prior to the vaccination. In our patient, a COVID-19 vaccination precipitated asymptomatic calcific tendinitis to symptomatic calcific tendinitis.
conclusionPreviously asymptomatic shoulder pathologies can be precipitated to symptomatic by a COVID-19 vaccination.
