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

backgroundComplications following COVID-19 vaccination, particularly with mRNA vaccines, rarely include myocarditis and pericarditis. This work principally aimed at defining a realistic temporal relationship between vaccination and myocarditis/pericarditis development.

methodsAll relevant cases reported from week 52/2020 through week 41/2021 in the VAERS database were retrieved and analyzed for licensed vaccines. These included BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, and AD26.COV2·S. Incidence rates were calculated using the corresponding administered vaccine doses as denominators. Additionally, analyzed parameters included demographics, dose series, hospitalization length and outcome.

resultsOverall, 2016 myocarditis and 1380 pericarditis cases, (4.96/10

conclusionsMyocarditis/pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and depicts a bimodal pattern.
