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

A broad spectrum of neurological side effects has been reported after immunisation for COVID-19, including functional neurological disorders, cerebral vascular events, cerebral venous thrombosis, intracerebral haemorrhage, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, cranial nerve palsies, and otologic manifestations. Multiple cranial neuropathies have also been reported following vaccination in which involvement of VII nerve is the most prevalent, followed by the VI, III, and IV nerves. We describe two male patients, one with with facial nerve palsy and the other with abducens nerve palsy following COVID-19 vaccination. The patient with facial nerve palsy received the AstraZeneca vaccine 2 days before the symptoms began. In contrast, the patient with the abducens palsy had received his first dose of the Sinopharm vaccine 7 days previously. Both patients demonstrated a gradual recovery within the next 2 months. Further studies are required to investigate the proper relationship between cranial nerve palsies and vaccinations.
