A Case of Acute Viral Pericarditis Complicated With Pericardial Effusion Induced by Third Dose of COVID Vaccination.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
COVID-19 vaccines were safe and efficacious in clinical trials. A two-dose regimen of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine confers no less than 95% protection against COVID-19 with an adequate safety profile. To date, no reports have been made in the literature regarding the onset of acute viral pericarditis after vaccination with the Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine. But on the other hand, pericarditis is reported to occur in rare instances of COVID-19 infection, and this may be attributed to the pro-inflammatory effects of the spike protein. In this article, we describe the case of an elderly male patient with a known case of hypothyroidism who presented to our emergency department with fever, chills, and dry cough for ten days after the third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Although we cannot mention a direct effect, it is essential to note a potential adverse reaction to vaccine administration following the expression of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-induced from the vaccine's mRNA.
