Intermittent complete heart block with ventricular standstill after Pfizer COVID-19 booster vaccination: A case report.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues around the globe, vaccines are undoubtedly central to the fight to control the spread of the virus. However, as with any therapy, these vaccines are not without side effects. Documented cardiac complications of COVID-19 vaccination include myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiac conduction abnormalities. Here, we report a novel case of intermittent complete heart block with ventricular standstill occurring within 24 hours of administration of a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster vaccine. The patient presented to the emergency department (ED) via ambulance for evaluation of syncope. On arrival, the patient lost pulses as a result of intermittent complete heart block with ventricular standstill. He required cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with intubation, transcutaneous pacing, and subsequent transvenous pacing in the ED. After stabilization and extensive workup, the patient was diagnosed with lymphocytic myocarditis and complete heart block that is suspected to be secondary to COVID-19 booster vaccination. Ultimately, the patient's complete heart block resolved spontaneously, and he was discharged home with ambulatory rhythm monitoring.
